Masking Tape Painting

1st tape up a fun design with masking tape
2nd Paint away
3rd remove tape
See the neat design you make.

Fun mixing the paints together.   What colors will they make?  This time a weird purple.




This is the first time they've been able to play with the chalk board that Grandpa gave them for their birthday's.  I finally went and got chalk. 
Each of these flap books has the meaning behind each Christmas symbol. 
I used packaging tape to laminate them so that they could stay intact after my kids get done playing with them.  That way we can play with them next Christmas. 

I used different definitions of each symbol then she did on her's.  I just googled Christmas symbols meaning.  I liked the ones I used better.  They were more clear.

    I totally forgot about masking tape painting - so much fun!!! I'll have to remember that for this week. I usually do hidden pictures for crayon rubbings. :) I love the lapbook - so cute! Thanks for stopping by my site.

    That looks like it would a lot of fun for my Littles and Middles! It also looks like a great way to let them experiment with colors and art mediums. :) Thank you for the idea.

    Great ideas, we did a masking tape painting before, but more abstract, love the star and tree shapes! Thanks for sharing at BTT!
