Painting canvases as gifts

[monkeysmama]

I've got 8 big square art canvases to give as gifts once painted by dd (18mo) We did one for my sister's birthday & she adores it. However I'm stuck for what to paint on them. Have done one A bright background and with contrasting hand prints but maybe a bit boring?

How about animal shapes using hands? For example, the hand patterns could be the tail feathers of a peacock - you could paint the fingers different colours?

That is a good idea. I may need to put my artistic hat on and do a trial run. Thank you.

Or good old-fashioned potato shapes, where you carve shapes into potatoes and dip them in the paint and use them as stamps?

toy printing, monopainting, free painting, let her walk over the canvas, fruit/veg printing, ball rolling,
