Simple and easy idea for a Father’s day present.
My son is only 19 mos. old so we are somewhat limited in the art department at the moment.
This is something fun and easy to do and can make a really sweet gift, for Father’s day or any occasion!
Have your child finger paint all over a piece of paper. I use card stock paper because it’s thicker and seems to handle being covered in paint better than thin regular paper.
messy fun! |
While the paint is still wet, use the backwards end of a paint brush (a toothpick would probably work too) to “scratch” a message onto the paint.
You could even frame it after it’s dry! :)
fun and easy gift!!! :)
Do you have any art/crafty posts or ideas? feel free to share them with me in the comments! :D Especially if you have ideas for crafts for toddlers!

I found an idea just today that I hope to do with the kids I babysit, use a wide paint brush to make a tree trunk and use the child’s hand dipped in green paint to give the tree leaves.
I like your idea and may use it as well.

What a cute idea! I was just thinking yesterday that I need to get on top of Father’s Day! Our son is 16 months old, so we will see how he likes this!

fun! my boy loves to finger paint, and we’ve been doing it for several months now. It’s rather messy but the crayola brand is super easy to wash off! My son gets is EVERYWHERE but clean up never takes more than 5 minutes. hope y’all have fun! :)
