Customized Light Switch Painting

Materials

  1. Light switch plate
  2. Acrylic paint
  3. Small brushes

Directions

Replace your child's light-switch plate with a customized one that your child has created. Get all the materials ready. Using the small brushes, have your child paint on a design, picture, or her name. Wipe mistakes off with water, or wait until it dries and paint over the top of the dried paint. Let the plate dry completely before screwing it back on the wall.
