This time instead of tape, we tried ribbon. It
leaves behind the same negative space marks, but doesn’t require any messy
peeling. As a bonus, it’s a fairly intricate fine motor activity. In order to
start the art, your child will have to fold onto the ribbon and keep it still
while putting on the paint. Believe me when I say, it’s also a lesson in
patience and self-control. It also has an amazing ability to help the artist
focus. Try it out yourself, along with your child. If you have work to do or
just can’t seem to concentrate, doing this will re-focus your mind (and it’s always
fun to make art alongside your child!).
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Tempera or washable finger paints
·
Ribbon – Use one size or vary it up and
try different thicknesses.
·
White or light-colored paper – I like
card stock or poster board. They are thick enough to hold gobs of paint without
curling, curving or getting holes.
·
Scissors
Here’s What to Do:
1. Cut
the ribbon into different sizes.
2. Make
a design on the paper with the ribbon. Your child can create an abstract
pattern, shapes or letters. Remind her that the parts under the ribbon will
stay the same color as the paper.
3. Pour
the paint into golf ball-sized pools. Use a palette, tray, plastic-ware lid or
(my favorite) as sheet of wax paper.
4. Finger
paint the paper. Your child will need to use her critical thinking skills to
figure out how to hold the ribbon still, while painting at the same time. The
more paint that she gobs on, the more the ribbon will stay in place. She should
cover the ribbon too. Encourage her to mix and blend the colors together.
5. Pull
the ribbon off to reveal the art underneath!

DeleteCreative - definitely trying this! I have the same problem with tape-resist projects, which is so annoying because I love the way they come out. At least I'm glad to find I'm not the only one! lol!
ReplyDeleteOh you certainly aren't alone. My son was never picky about it and didn't care if the paper ripped. But, it always got to me. This one makes nice lines without the rips. And it really encourages kids to focus and use their fine motor skills.
