We found it helpful to let the child choose which stripe to paint and lay the poster board strips alongside the tape as a paint guide.\u00a0 That seemed to keep the occasional errant brush strokes to a minimum! Once he finishes the first stripe, let him paint another if he\u2019d like. You can choose another color and move your paint guides to another stripe, or not use the paint guides at all. Some of the older children didn\u2019t like the paint guides, so they painted without them. It\u2019s the process, not the product, so if the painter strays outside the tape lines, that\u2019s perfectly fine, and I think it\u00a0 actually enhances the product!<br><br>This project actually took a couple of days to complete. Children painted one stripe the first day and came back to it the next. When all the stripes have been completed, make sure the paint has thoroughly dried before pulling off the tape (a fun thing for your <em>child<\/em> to do) revealing a unique work of art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/files\/2019\/03\/Washi-tape-stripe-art-David-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/files\/2019\/03\/Washi-tape-stripe-art-David-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/files\/2019\/03\/Washi-tape-stripe-art-David-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Materials:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Roll of washi tape Canvas painting frame or board5 or 6 compatible colors of acrylic paint Paintbrush for each paint color2 strips of poster board Directions: Tape off the canvas in a stripe pattern using the washi tape.\u00a0 I like washi tape because it\u2019s flexible, comes in a variety of designs and widths, and &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/2019\/03\/01\/washi-tape-stripe-art\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Washi Tape Stripe Art&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":3353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-games-and-activities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/101"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3352"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3360,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352\/revisions\/3360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
