Cardboard Art

A couple of weeks ago, I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw @toysaclock traced her child’s hand onto cardboard and let her paint the finger nails. This got me thinking. My daughter loves to paint but is always waisting paper. She paints one thing on a page, doesn’t like it, and wants to start over. Sound familiar to anyone else? So…I thought if I drew different scenes onto cardboard, put tape over it so that she could erase the paint and start over, then my daughter could paint the same scenes over and over again without waiting paper. If she messes up, no big deal, just erase it!

Thankfully, my daughter was all about this idea. She loves that she can paint the same picture over and over until it looks just the way she wants. If you think your child would like this activity too, keep reading.

What You’ll Need

Cardboard

Sharpie

Heavy Duty Scotch Tape

Paint

Paint Brushes

Paper towel

How To:

Use your sharpie to draw a scene onto the cardboard. Cover the entire cardboard with tape and starting paining and erasing and painting again. We haven’t been leaving the paint on the cardboard for too long to make sure we can erase it easily.
