LOVE Canvas
Image: Kids By the Grace
Use masking or painter’s tape to mark out LOVE on a canvas. Now use different shades of pink, purple and red to create lots of unique handprints all over the canvas – we recommend doing one colour at a time and leaving it to dry before doing another so that the colours don’t smudge too much.
Once dry, carefully remove the tape and see your message appear fully. You’ll find full details of the LOVE canvas at Kids By the Grace.
