Color Picture

Each year parents are looking for ideas

for their children to make as

Holiday presents.

Is Mary the next Renoir?

Johnny- Degas?

Trent- Cezanne?

Piper is our next Monet.

For this project you will need:

COLORS

 CANVAS 

(3 for $5 at Hobby Lobby and 40% coupon)

IRON 

WAX PAPER

PENCIL SHARPNER(for shavings)

For this project you are going to use

shavings of the colors. 

We used 2 boxes of 64 colors.

Look how yummy the colors look!

Yes, it did take awhile to shave each color,

but well worth the time.

Plus it will keep your little ones 

quite and still

for a little bit of time.

Have your child draw a design on the canvas.

This is their project but try and stress a

BIG picture is better.

Sprinkle the color shavings on the design.

Try to cover the canvas with colors without white showing.

Cover the canvas with wax paper

and iron until the colors melt.

Carefully check to see that the colors have melted

by lifting the wax paper.

If the color has not melted all of the way

lay the wax paper back down and re-iron.

To add a little extra pazzaz

wrap the edges with ribbon and tack down with

Glitter Finger Polish Tacks

Now your child has their very own master piece.

“I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.”

~Claude Monet
