masking tape & watercolor

We helped the children use masking tape to make the first letter of their names on a sheet of watercolor paper. They used watercolors to paint over the entire letter. When the paint dried, we carefully pulled the tape off. The results were pretty neat. Next week we'll leave the paintings out with collage materials and markers and let them embellish them if they'd like. I'll try to remember to post a follow up . . .
