Kids Watercolor Project

Watercolors are really fun and easy to do with kids and create beautiful arrays of colors. Here are a few projects we just finished with a couple of different variations.

The key is to use nice heavy-weight watercolor paper. Then we used masking tape, standard kids watercolors and a couple of Martha Stewart stencils. There are tons of cute stencil designs out there and it would be nice to customize a piece for certain holidays or recipients.

I used masking tape to create a triangle shape and tape up the outside edge. Then let Lena go to town. We started with a few colors and just kept adding more. I just had to help her blend it a bit.

Wait until 100% dry, then carefully remove the tape. I ended up touching up a couple of small spots with white acrylic paint where the tape leaked to make it look all nice and crisp.
