Foil and washi tape art frames

My kids love to draw. It’s something that they often do of their own accord without any prompting by me, but sometimes it’s fun to mix it up with a new medium for them to get creative with. This idea is low mess, low fuss and gives them a different shiny, smooth surface to draw on that they can see their reflection in. Needless to say, a big hit at our place!

You will need:
• Heavy cardboard scraps, mine are pieces of chopped up cardboard carton. Having odd sizes adds a bit of interest for them.
• Aluminium foil
• Washi tape
• Permanent markers in assorted colours (like sharpies)
• Plastic tablecloth

How to:

Cover the card in pieces of foil, add a boarder of washi tape and you’re ready to go.

Ideally get a few pieces set up before hand for the kids to create with. My two came over as I was setting up and began taking them out of my hands immediately. I couldn’t pump out the art boards fast enough for them!

We made a collage from them to brighten up some blank wall space. They are attached to the wall with a small amount of blu-tack (sticky tack).
