Name Painting Activity

When I spotted this Name Painting Activity idea on Facebook, I knew at first glance it would be the perfect weekend project for my crew!

The best part? I already had everything I needed on hand! I had the canvases, the painter’s tape, and the paint!

One Saturday afternoon I used painter’s tape to spell out each of their names on a canvas. I just kind of eyeballed this – tearing by hand – and hoping for the best.

That evening, they started painting, each kiddo with their own idea of how they wanted to do this.

When they finished painting, we let the canvases dry for a bit, and then we came back to them later to remove the tape! All four kids loved this part most!

It was fun for them to see their names magically appear! While the kids were peeling off their tape, I asked Alexia to play the song, “He Knows My Name”.
