Kid Activity: Name painting

Henry and I have been slowly working on spelling and writing his name.  He is a boy and I don't push the writing part of his name.  But he is motivated by seeing his brother's abilities.  He has mastered writing the H and the E.  This week one of our tasks was rearranging the letters to spell his name.  I used painting tape to make the letters of his name.  NEXT TIME I WOULD TRY MASKING TAPE. 

After arranging them to spell Henry many times after I mixed them up, he painted them each a different color.  He painted each sheet a different color and he painted the entire thing. 

After he was done painting, we let them dry, and then I peeled the tape off.  The tape took with it a wee bit of the paper.  That is why I would try the masking tape next time.  But after removing the tape we ended up with a cute name craft!

I can not remember where I got this idea.  But it is from a blog :)
