Canvas painting with a young child is a great gift and keepsake. Just a little patience and guidance with the ability to let the child work on their own is all you need for a masterpeice. After my 3 year old demonstrated the ability to draw a sunshine by herself, we transformed it to canvas with paint. For the final touch, I put the lyrics to “You Are My Sunshine” on the back.
Ingredients:
- Canvas
- Yellow and orange paint
- Paint brushes
- Patience
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You’ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away

Oh this is adorable! This song is special for so many reasons. We change the words to “Samshine” for Sammy
You now have a beautiful piece of art for your home. I never buy pictures, just hand my kids’ work all over the place!
That is impressive for a 3yo. Looks like you two had a lot of fun.
That is beautiful! I love that you put it on a canvas print!!
So pretty! I’d hang this one!
Beautiful! When each of our children was born, they had a special song. Our firstborn (now 15)’s song was You Are My Sunshine. Thank you for the delightful vision and the lovely memory.
Peace and good
