14 Best Painting Canvases - ok, so there is more than 10!

 

1. Eggs – They're not only for Easter, but a great way to learn to paint on a small curved surface.
2. Construction Paper – paints stick to this surface in a different manner than plain white paper.
3. Canvas – canvas shoes or canvas bags, can make great gifts as the children decorate a rather inexpensive medium.
4. Paper Bags – great for making puppets, towns
5. Newspaper – great activity for making hats and more! Mold and then paint!
6. Snow – get some spray bottles and place colored water in them. Spray to hearts content!
7. Sand – Sand art is a ton of fun. Spray colored paint on sand on ground for bigger canvas or spray on colors to individual piles of sand and then place the sand into a glass jar in different layers for sand art.
8. Sidewalks – a great way to use spray on colors and also use painting mediums that are messy that will also wash up quickly with a hose.
9. Windows – when was the last time you were allowed to paint on a window? It is loads of fun and will wash up quickly if the correct paint is used.
10. T-shirts or materials – are great for decorating something the child can wear to display their art!
