This is a nice, simple, open-ended media that kids can paint on. Here is a canvas my eldest daughter painted that is now a cherished gift at her grandparents’ house.
Visitors love to admire it and talk about what they see in it, often. It’s also a lovely way for parents to decorate the home, capturing a time, an age, a memory. Best of all, they are cheap and easy to buy! Here’s some painted canvases we’ve done over the years:
Have you ever given your children canvas to work with? Next time you’re stuck for a gift, you could give this a try.
Beautiful idea. I’m thinking this might work really well as a Christmas present for my daughters teachers – on a smaller scale though
That’s the great thing about these, Marita:) You can get these canvases in any size from huge to tiny, so it works with different budgets or needs. It’s nice, because it’s a beautiful gift, but is still centred on the child’s creativity.

Great idea!! We often get coupons for our craft store. Great way to use them.

I’ve painted on canvas myself but I haven’t thought of it for my kids. They are just getting into art (my daughter is much more interested in it than my son) so I will keep this in mind once I introduce her to paint. She’s only 20months so we’re still in the crayon/pencil crayon stage.

Thanks, Kelly:) Looking at them makes us so happy.
They are really handy for grandparent gifts, Melissa:) Especially for the grandparent who already has everything!
