Materials
Piece of canvas board
Painter’s tape
Tempera paint in 3-4 colors
Dishwashing brush
Directions
Make stripes on the canvas using the painter’s tape. Pour paint, one of each color onto a paper plate. Provide a dishwashing brush for each color of paint. Invite your child to use the brush to dip into the paint and then dab onto the canvas. Many children chose to move the brush back and forth, rather than dab. That’s just fine. It is all about the process and experience. Encourage your child to cover the entire canvas with paint. Once the paint has dried completely, remove the painter’s tape for a fun striped surprise!
