Winter Tree Paintings

In keeping with our wintry theme we have been making some wintry tree paintings making use of that great technique - tape resist art. We think they turned out rather nicely. 

 First we went for a walk through the woods looking at the wintry trees. While JS was asleep I stuck some masking tape on the paper in the shape of a tree. I then handed him the paper with some 'wintry' watercolour paints and the colour began! 



This was such a great activity for a two year old mindee as he gets to paint as much as he likes as well as painting a picture that he subsequently recognises. He is very proud of this one and shows it to me on the wall each time we pass!
