DIY Mini Canvas Ideas For Kids

Art· Craft Basics· Kids Stuff

Is there anything sweeter than children’s artwork? Is there anything cuter than a mini canvas painting and easel? Put the two together and you get the most adorable piece of art decor ever! These mini canvas ideas for kids would be perfect for an art party, or packaged together as a gift! My 7 year old daughter and I made these two simple mini canvas paintings on a rainy afternoon day. We had a great and relaxing time painting and chatting. She enjoyed spending time with me and I loved seeing her creativity shine. Read on to learn how to create a DIY mini canvas painting for a child in your life!

  • Mini Canvas
  • Mini Easel
  • Black Sharpie Marker
  • Watercolor Paints
  • Paint Brush

Step one. Decide on your mini canvas ideas. For younger children, use a Sharpie Marker to draw a simple image onto the mini canvas. Don’t have the greatest drawing skills? That’s OK! Do an internet search for simple cartoon drawings or something similar to get some inspiration! Older children could easily draw their own picture.
