How would you like to create a cherished work of art with your young child with minimal effort and time?
Materials
8 x 10 white canvas
pre-cut foam heart

Time to create our first Cotton Ball Heart Painting
Stick the foam heart to the center (or wherever you want) of the canvas with adhesive.
1.
TIP:
I used double-sided tape because that is what I had, and it worked perfectly.
Pour the paint and stick one cotton ball on the end of each clothespin. I then dipped each clothespin/cotton combo into a paint color.
2.
Now you are ready to create! I showed Sweet Pea the concept of using the paint dippers to ‘dot’ the canvas.
3.
When we were done, I gently peeled off the foam heart and voila, beautiful heart painting just with Valentine’s Day around the corner!

Total time from set up to clean up? Maybe 20 minutes.
