When the kids finished playing with their friends I thought it'd be fun to try a little watercolor painting with them. We used my washi tape to create designs on white paper and then used watercolors to fill in the remaining white areas.
Tony joined us out in the gazebo as well.
Harper does not love art and ended up leaving when his tape got twisted. He never painted his page and I ended up throwing it out. Oh well. Win some, lose some, right?
Dakota had a moment or two of frustration as well but she's an artsy girl so she stuck it out. Her design turned out really nice too! When we removed the washi it tore the paper a bit but nothing that ruined the painting or anything. Next time we'll wait until the paint is completely dry before removing the tape and see if that helps.
Here's our finished products. Mine:

Of all of us, I think I enjoyed the project the most! I found it relaxing and ended up spending a lot of time outside alone painting on some watercolor postcards we had lying around. I'll do another post about those.
