Fingerprint Fun

We are still in the process of decorating our outdoor space. There are two blank walls that could use a little sprucing up. Since we are renting our apartment, we can't do anything permanent, so I thought these beautiful works of art my littles made would be perfect. One promotes FUN in the backyard, and the other, which is not yet complete, PLAY. Two things all children are great at.

 I found 2 canvases at my local craft store (2 for $10), used painter's tape and an Exacto knife.

I taped out the word FUN, and handed the canvas over to my daughter. I put some tempera paints on a plate to let her have at it!

She painted. She slapped. She got as much paint on her arms as she did on the canvas. She had a blast! I loved watching her go through the whole process as much as she loved doing the painting. The final product is a lot of... well... FUN!
