Tape Resist Snowflake Craft




 

Here’s another amazingly easy winter craft for you. Last year L and I made these beautiful tape resist snowflake pictures. It takes almost no prep time but can get a bit messy.

I cut out 4 small squares of paper and stuck masking tape onto them in the shape of a snowflake. At the time I put L in her highchair for this craft but with older toddlers you could use the bath tub (if your mess averse) or just your usual crafting space.

I taped the paper down and gave L a few different shades of blue paint and some white. All had silver glitter mixed in with them to add winter ice sparkle.

L had fun painting the paper and once she had finished one picture, I stuck another one down.

 
The result was some very unique art to display for the festive season and an occupied toddler J

You could of course make any image you want with tape, and use any colours, have a play around and see what you could come up with, a few suggestions just to get you started; Christmas trees, snowmen, stars. You also can change this activity for any time of the year.
 
Please feel free to leave some pictures of your own tape-resist artwork in the comments for inspiration to others.
