Giant Shape Art for Kids was a fun way to spend an afternoon with the kids. We used an old cardboard box and painters tape to create some fun tape resist art, exploring and learning all about shapes as we did it. If you’re teaching a toddler or preschool classroom, try this simple art activity, the kids will love it.

How to Make Giant Shape Art for Kids
Step 1: Grab a piece of cardboard, and use painters tape to make the outlines of shapes.
I started by dividing the cardboard into sections, and then assigning each section a single shape. So I had rows of squares, triangles, circles and more. But of course, you can arrange the shapes in whatever way you like. Do what works for you.
2. Grab some paints and let the kids have fun.
3. When the painting has dried, remove the painters tape to reveal the shapes underneath.
