Tape Painting

Supplies

• White paper or cardboard

• Masking tape (easy-peel works best)

• Paint (washable poster paint or acrylic)

• Paintbrushes or sponges

• Aprons or old shirts

• Table coverings

Steps

1. Give each child a sheet of paper and masking tape.

2. Children place tape onto the paper to create lines, shapes, or patterns (encourage pressing tape down firmly).

3. Once the design is complete, paint over the entire page, covering both the tape and exposed paper.

4. Allow the paint to dry slightly (touch-dry works best).

5. Carefully peel off the tape to reveal bold designs and clean lines underneath.
