Toddler Valentines Painting

This is a great project to do with your little one! We actually have ours hanging in our bedroom right now – and it is such a lovely little keepsake to wake up to each morning.

What You’ll Need:

• Canvas (grab a pack of 7 here)
• Paint brush
• Sponge Brush
• 3 different paint colors (love these)
• sharpie marker 

 Steps:

1. Use your sponge brush to paint the background of your canvas. (You can use a regular brush if you’d like – but the sponge brush is faster).
2. Let canvas dry for an hour.
3. Fold a piece of craft paper in half, cut out a heart, and then use washi tape to adhere the paper to your canvas. Washi tape doesn’t stick – and I try to use what I have for projects.
4. Use your second color to paint inside of your cutout – it helps if you have a little one to do some of the muscle work 🙂
5. Peel the paper cutout off of your canvas to reveal a beautiful heart!
6. Use your third paint to let your little one have some fun! Let them put their hands in it and play around – then – when they’re ready – help them to press their hand on the canvas in the center of the heart.
7. Write a special message – or just their name and the date so you’ll always remember.

Isn’t it adorable?

We were so pleased with the way that it turned out + Wyatt and I had such an awesome time creating it together. I love how artistic he is – and just can’t get enough of craft time with him 🙂
