Tape Paint

More Wrapping Paper Made By Emily!

Emily loves to paint and we needed wrapping paper for Father's Day so I decided to try some tape painting with Emily.

I cut different sized pieces of electrical tape and Emily placed them on the paper.

I told Emily to cover the whole page so she went right to work painting over the tape.

Emily chose blue and pink to paint with.

She did some color mixing with her hands. She loves to paint with her hands whenever possible!

When the paint dried we peeled off the tape. Emily was impressed with the white lines it left behind. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the finished project. We were in to much of a rush to wrap up our presents!!

Red White and Blue Tape Flag

Emily's Tape Flag

Emily enjoyed making this Patriotic Flag from white and red electrical tape and some star stickers. I knew that I wanted to make a flag with Emily, however I didn't want her to get board with gluing on lots of pieces. A while ago I was at Home Depot with my husband and saw this package of multi-colored electrical tape, which I had to have! We have not used it since I got it and as I was looking through our supplies I saw the package and new that Emily would love sticking the tape on the paper to make the flag since she absolutely LOVES anything with stickers and tape is a giant sticker!

I cut lengths of the tape and put them on the edge of the table so she could just pull them off. We talked about patterns and how the colors were going to change. She did a great job picking which color would go next.

After she finished with the tape I gave Emily some white paint and a q-tip so she could do the "stars"

Emily was so excited to show everyone her Flag that she made!!
