Make Something Monday - Stained Glass Poster Board Painting

In the summer, I try to let the kids make a craft or art project on Mondays.

Last week we got our idea from the July Friend Magazine.

I loved telling the story to the kids before we got started of

the man who makes stained glass art for the LDS Temples.

His story of stuttering as a child, and not getting accepted into college

I thought were inspiring examples of overcoming challenges.

Supplies:

Poster Board (I got a package of 1/2 the size of normal poster size.)

Masking or Painter's tape

Paint (washable is preferrred!)

Foam or paint brushes

Let your kids put tape on their poster board.

 After taping, let the kids paint the colors in between their tape.

The paint can overlap on top of the tape.

Try not to let different paint get inside the other taped shapes, though.

After the paint has dried, remove your tape and

see your design and art!
