Monoprinting

This fun and easy painting activity came from The Artful Parent.

First we used a mini roller to paint an acrylic frame. O enjoyed rolling the paint on at first, but eventually I was the paint roller for all of the artwork :)




Then she drew her design with a q tip. When she was finished drawing, we placed a piece of white cardstock over the design, pressed evenly, and then took the paper off the frame to admire her art :)




She decided to mix things up a little and dip the q tip into the paint to paint on the frame.




Surprisingly, blue was the last color she chose. You can see a few of her finished masterpieces in the background of this picture.




Here's one of her finished masterpieces. I'm not sure why the yellow turned out so splotchy. Maybe we should have used more paint on the frame...
