Gavin wanted to make Valentines for his Mimi and Grandma because they take such good care of him while Momma is at work.
First we got some plain white canvases. I used the Cricut to cut out letters on contact paper. Once the letters were cut out I placed them on the canvases. Luckily Gavin took a nap while I did this.
Once Gavin got up I got out the finger paints and let him go to town. He love painting the pictures and squeezing the paint in between his fingers.
I wanted to take a picture of Gavin but every time I stood up he stood up and tried to follow me which wasn't good since he was covered in paint. I decided to just take a picture of him in the tubby but that didn't work either since he screamed the whole time. So, I have yet to actually get a picture of Gavin with his artwork.

| All painted and in the process of drying. |
Once the paint dried we peeled off the letters.
The pictures were then moved into the garage on some newspaper and spray painted with a topcoat to keep the paint from smearing and to make it shiny and pretty. (Make sure you do this in a well ventilated area whew that stuff is strong.)
We let the pictures dry over night. AND VOILA! FINITO!
I think they turned out beautiful. I only wish I had him make one more for me.
