Painted Letters

We did this project yesterday.  I started it with my preschooler- the 1st grader wasn't interested in making boring letters...  Well, we got going on it, and that silly 1st grader came over and asked if he could help, too.  I had fun with it as well.  We were all painting away.  I forgot how much I love painting!
Here is what you do to make these letters:

Use masking tape and create your letters on a sheet of paper.  The curved ones are a little tricky!  Don't judge.  Use water colors, or any other art medium that you would like- markers, pencils, pastels...  Paint all around the whole paper & then let it dry.  Carefully peel of the tape- it comes off without ripping if you do it slowly. 

Enjoy your beautiful letters!  Have the kids create their names to hang up- they will love it!
