L-O-V-E & Fingerprint Tree Painting

We’re giving you a two-for-one with this project! My kids LOVE painting…so I thought what better way to get some cheap, quick Valentine’s art for our home than letting them get creative with some pink, red, and white finger paint?

I let my two-year-old work on the L-O-V-E painting and my six year old son did the heart-shaped fingerprint tree painting. They both had a wonderful time…and I got some pretty cute artwork from my budding pint-sized Picassos. :)

To make the L-O-V-E painting, I simply used painter’s tape to create the letters and the heart. After firmly pressing the tape to the canvas, I let my daughter have at it with finger paint. Once the paint was dry, I carefully removed the tape from the canvas and…voila!

For the fingerprint tree painting, what you see is what you get. I let my son paint the brown tree trunk with a paint brush; we waited for it to dry and then he used his fingertips to create the heart shaped “leaves” on the tree.

Do you have a favorite Valentine’s craft you’ll be attempting this year? In my opinion, you can never have or make too many Valentine’s Day crafts or decor items. I mean, with a holiday that celebrates LOVE, why wouldn’t you want to embrace all that it stands for? And get some cute decor out of it as well? :)
