Since yesterday was Dr. Seuss’s birthday we have been reading lots of Dr. Seuss books. One particular book that Lil’man has loved is Dr. Seuss’s ABC. He is really into letters right now and loves to help read this book with me. I point to the letters and he reads them. As, we go through the book he often points at one of the crazy animal like creatures and ask, “What’s that?” It is his favorite question these days.
To create this I just drew a hat on some finger painting paper, then added some painter’s tape to keep parts of it white. Then I put some red finger paint on it and let the boy have at it.

After it dried I pulled off the tape, which didn’t come off cleanly. I tested it before starting the project and it work just fine, so I am not sure if I left it on too long or the finger paint had something to do with the not so easy removal. Overall, I think it turned out cute, but I may want to look into using a different type of tape next time. I have seen others do crafts similar to this with tape before, what kind did you use? When you removed it, did some paper get taken with it?
