What we used to make the Paper Roll Painted Heart

• paper roll
• red paint
• pink paint
• purple paint
• 12 by 18 craft paper with heart shape drawn on the paper
• paper plate

We had the heart drawn on the paper before we did the painting. But you could have older kids draw the heart on the paper. That makes each hear unique and theirs.

How we made the Paper Roll Painted Heart

You will see all the steps below we use to make the paper roll painted heart.

Put the Three Color of Paint On a Paper Plate

You are going to put the three colors of paint in small circles on the paper plate. You want it about the size of the paper roll.

We used red, pink and purple but you could use other colors of paints as well.

Put the Paper Rolls in the Paint

You are going to place the paper rolls in the paint on the paper plate. You are going to want to spread the paint around on the paper roll to make sure all the side of the paper roll are cover.

Paper Roll Paint the Outside of the Heart

You are going to take a paper roll and paint the outline of the heart. This is a simple way to see the shape of the heart.

You can do simple paint of the roll with no over lapping or you can over lap the paper roll painting. And guess what kids might do their own painting idea and that is okay!

Paint the Next Color on the Heart

You see that we use the space right next to the first painting to make the heart in the next color. And kids can do the colors in any order they want. You can see we kept close to the first color we did on the heart.

Paint the Final Color on the Heart

Finally you are going to use the final color and paint the inside of the heart. And that fills in the heart and makes three colors on the heart.

And remember if their heart painting looks different from ours. That is okay. You can just remember this is their painting and they can have fun with it.
