If I have a child, I want to try this ♡ How to create stylish and "proper" art, known as 【First Art】.

Do You Know About First Art?

Have you heard of "First Art," which has been gradually gaining popularity since a few years ago?

First Art refers to the first artwork created by babies. It seems to be commonly done during half-birthdays or first birthdays. It is also known as finger painting.

This is the kind of art that can be created♡

It’s stylish, and if you had it displayed at home, you might wonder, "Is this the work of a painter?"

<What You Need>

Here are the three things you need for First Art.

➀ Canvas board (about 15 to 30 cm)

② Acrylic paint (about 3 to 5 colors)

③ A size-appropriate Ziploc bag for the canvas

Adding a tag for First Art is also popular♡

<How to Do It>

➀ Place the paint on the canvas.

If you want to cover the entire canvas thickly, put plenty of paint all the way to the edges. If you want a finish that shows the canvas underneath, use less paint and place it mainly in the center.*

② Place the canvas with paint into the Ziploc bag. If you're worried, you can layer two bags.

③ Hand the Ziploc bag containing the canvas to the baby and say, "Let's Art♡"

④ Let the acrylic paint dry thoroughly, and you’re done♡

<Ways to Customize>

Here are various ways to customize First Art♡

Adding gold leaf is also lovely＊

There was also an idea to use acrylic instead of a canvas!

I Want to Try First Art♡

I would love to try "First Art" for a half-birthday or a first birthday.

Some people have done First Art multiple times for half-birthdays, first birthdays, and second birthdays. There were some who had always chosen the colors before but were moved this time (for the second birthday) when their child chose the colors themselves…!

First Art makes it fun to decorate your home. Please give it a try♡

Calendar Too♡

How about creating a "calendar" using your child's photos?

Not only for home use, but it would also surely be appreciated as a gift for parents or in-laws＊

If you have a child who can write, a "handwritten calendar" is also recommended. You can make a calendar using the numbers 1 to 9 that your child writes♡
