Making a painted frame is a simple activity even the youngest kids can do. And the results are lovely, making this a lovely gift.

A few weeks ago, we did the most lovely wooden frame painting in our Toddler Art Group. The kids loved adding the bright, saturated liquid watercolors to the wood and even used oil pastels for some resist art.
And, of course, we made little artworks to put inside the hand-painted frames.
These would make such beautiful end-of-year teacher gifts, Mother’s Day gifts, or Father’s Day gifts! The process is so easy and the finished frames just pop with color!
The Artful Parent Editorial team (Rachel, Anna, Andrea, Heather) loves to gather great content and fun, fresh art activities and sensory play ideas for kids.
