Hey guys! Sian here from Teach Investigate Play. If you already follow me on social media, youโ€™ll know that Iโ€™m a huge fan of messy art projects with my two-year-old daughter, Zoey. Most days we are found painting up a storm and so weโ€™ve decided to show you how to turn those cute, messy projects into a lasting piece of wall art. Weโ€™re passionate about recycling materials and reusing items wherever we can โ€“ hopefully youโ€™ll be able to recreate this project at home without the need of buying new items!

If you already have heaps of your childโ€™s artwork stored, then hereโ€™s your opportunity to repurpose it! If you havenโ€™t hereโ€™s something for you to tryโ€ฆ

1.Place a large piece of cardboard onto the floor. As itโ€™s just after Christmas, Iโ€™m guessing that you might have a lot of recycling, but if not, some card will do just as well. ย The idea here is to reuse items wherever possible so raid that recycling stash!

2.Squirt a selection of carefully chosen paints onto a paint tray. The key to avoiding a brown dirge when it comes to process art is the colours you choose. As this is a love themed craft, we decided to opt for pinks, purples, reds and whites.

3.Use a range of resources to apply the paint. For this craft we opted for sponges to create a stippled effect and even our hands and feet! My youngest is very fond of what weโ€™ve dubbed โ€˜paint skatingโ€™

  1. To break up some of the colour blocks, we also added heart stamps made by squishing a toilet roll tube like thisโ€ฆ (Photo)

Stage 2: Heart Wall hanging

If youโ€™ve created some art especially, leave it at least 24 hours to dry out properly before moving on to stage 2.

  1. Cut card into various sized heart-shaped pieces using a craft knife or sharp scissors. We tend to consider the use of a craft knife an โ€˜adult taskโ€™ so proceed with caution if you have a child helper.

  1. Use yarn / string of a variety of lengths and attach to the reverse side of the hearts. We used a glue gun, but you could also try tape or even make a hole.

  1. Wrap the end of the yarn around a stick/ small branch and tie, then trim up any loose ends.
