Watercolor initials
I tried this watercolor project with some of our preschool kids (age 3) recently and it went over really well. It doesn't take long to prepare and the kids were able to focus on it long enough to create pretty finished pieces. It's nice to have a simple activity that turns out such a nice frame-able picture, too.
I saw it first here at Blissful Kids. For ours, I printed each child's initial from the computer on an 8 1/2"x11" piece of paper. I held the paper on top of a piece of clear contact paper and cut around it. I peeled the back off the contact paper and stuck the initials on sheets of watercolor paper before class. The children painted their paper with watercolor paints and were surprised and pleased to find their initial staying white in the middle of the page. I let the paint dry before peeling off the contact paper letters.
Great for hanging in your child's room.

So cool! I will link to your site after we try this and I post. I think we may try butterflies! Thanks! You always have such great projects.
Great idea! We did this project this morning. I changed it up a bit and we used a handprint in the middle instead of the initial. Thanks for the idea! You can see my kids results at http://faithhopeandart.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-love-handprints.html if you like :)

Love it!! They look like the Eric Carle alphabet flash cards I hung up in our playroom last week. We may have to make some BIG letters for our walls!
Hey Megan, this is a super cool way to have an art project that's actually hang-able for years to come. I'll be keeping it in mind and I bet it would be fun to try other shapes too. Thanks for sharing!
