Paintings with Initials

I also borrowed this idea from Pinterest.  Take a blank canvas and use masking tape to "write" the child's name or initials on it.  Then let them go to town with paints.  Make sure they paint over every white space and especially in the crevices around the letters.  Wait until its dry and then remove the tape to reveal the letters underneath.  You could get creative with the letters using glitter, ribbon or puffy paint.  I used a Sharpie to outline and define my child's letters afterwards, but I really like it better before I did that.

Here are the blank canvases with tape letters:

And the finished projects!  Aren't they great?
