DIY Valentine’s Day Kids Canvas Art

Arts and crafts time with our kids is very important. It opens the mind and gives bonding time between family. Holidays always call for fun projects. This Valentine’s Day Kids Canvas Art is simple but enjoyable for everyone.

In order to create this fun decor for the kids’ room or anywhere in the house to display, you simply need painters tape, blank canvases (we used 11x14in), washable kid’s paint (for easy clean up) and small paintbrushes.

Follow the directions below and let your kids get creative with this. You’ll find the colors turn out perfectly. Our daughter is so proud of her artwork, it now hangs above her bed.

How to Easily Remove Painter’s Tape from Canvas?

When removing the panter’s tape from the painted canvas, try using a warm washcloth to soak the tape for a minute. This should loosen the tape enough to easily remove it from the canvas.

Valentine’s Canvas Art

What You Need:

• Painters Tape
• Canvas
• Washable Kid’s Paint (purples, pinks, reds for Valentine’s Day)
• Small Paint Brush

Instructions:

1. Starting with a blank canvas, tear the painter’s tape to create lettering/shapes. We used “LOVE” and a heart shape.
2. Rub the painter’s tape to the canvas to protect from paint bubbling under it.
3. Once you’ve created the wording or design you would like, place the canvas in an area to paint.
4. Using purples, pinks and/or reds of washable paint, pour a small amount on the canvas.
5. Use a small paintbrush (or fingers) and be creative. Mix colors spread around, have fun!
6. Once everyone is happy with their artwork, let the canvas dry overnight.
7. Once dry the following morning, carefully remove the painter’s tape from the canvas to reveal wording or design.
8. Hang, display, and enjoy!
