15+ Painting Ideas for Kids and Mom’s Library #93
I used to paint for hours when I was a child. Watercolor was my favorite and I got pretty good! It is a great way to release stress, promote concentration, and develop planning skills. That’s why I’m featuring 10 unique painting activities to try with your children. Make sure you get out the camera because you’ll want to save everyone of their creations.

Mother’s Day Portraits for Mom
MATERIALS
- Large piece of paper (we used 12 x 18 white sulphite paper)
- Black Sharpie
- Tempera paints
- Brushes
Time needed: 1 hour
Instructions
-
Draw the Face The children began by using their Sharpie to draw the face.
This part takes practice, and sometimes we practice with our finger or a pencil on the table paper. Young kids tend to draw very small, so we work on using their whole arm rather than just their hand. Once they drew their big circle, they filled in the features, hair, and of course the crown!
Because moms are the Queens of our homes.
I love the freckles on this portrait. And this kindergartner just got a new puppy, so she wanted to sign her artwork with her initial and a bone. I love that touch!
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
