Canvas Painting - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Canvas Painting for children!

Material

1 Acrylic Paint Colours
1 Paint Brush
1 Canvas Board
1 Smock
pencils

Method

This is such a fun and simple activity for kids to do and so much imagination. Cover up the table and ask the kids to draw a picture on the canvas. Anything they can imagine.
Your options aren't just limited to paint, crayons, coloured pencils and chalks also work great on canvas. Hand the colours to the kids and let them go nuts.
Waiting for the paint to dry is best done in the shade outdoors, then hang on the wall, and voila!

Notes

Great and simple artwork that’s looks great in the home and to keep forever.

I completely adore my kids. I really like talking to all kinds of people, especially those with similar interests and hobbies. I love my shed cooking and making things from scratch.

Heard about the therapeutic advantages of painting like this, whether kids or adults thru paintedmessages facebook site. Great way to express yourself and have fun.

I remember painting on canvases as a kid. I loved it, trying to replicate the scenery around me, so much fun
