You can craft lovely art prints employing this simple watercolor technique with painters tape.
This watercolor art concept came to me while seeking simple crafts for younger children at camp. Design Dazzle features a "Summer Camp" collection packed with crafting inspiration; this specific notion originated as a guest post from Centsational Girl, which I found quite clever.
I expanded upon her concept, utilizing masking tape alongside letter stickers to form a design, then painted watercolors over it before removing both the tape and the stickers…

I felt children might enjoy creating their own initials; {I selected the letters I felt would be least frequently used…}
The notion of "birch trees" was sparked by an image I encountered on It All Started with Paint.

Although I have no prior watercolor experience, I recognize its potential for great enjoyment!
For the very young, I believe the crayon resist watercolor method (as demonstrated here) would also be enjoyable.

Summer at a Camp Experience
I am unsure how your summer days unfold, but mine are sometimes incredibly hectic. I often wonder what the phrase "lazy days of summer" truly signifies… Evidently, the originator of that saying never experienced camp life!
I plan to balance my camp responsibilities with maintaining my blog, but life sometimes dictates otherwise. I will not become stressed by this; if you visit and find no recent posts, please know I will return. I will continue to read and value your feedback, though immediate replies may not always be possible.
If you are embracing a "lazy day of summer," that is wonderful for you!!
