Why is painting important for a child? Painting is a way of expressing emotion, conveying ideas, using their sense, and get an outcome by creating work and experience. Painting is an early stage of educations for kids, and if you look much closer to each painting your children complete it. You can gain much information from them and understand their modes and emotions through their work. There are plenty of options regarding paint. Acrylic paint – such paint dries up faster, allowing you to add many layers or apply crisp lines; acrylic paint is better for smaller canvas surfaces (such as tote bags), but color blending is more challenging. Acrylic paint also looks darker when it dries on canvas, so you should use color carefully. Also, acrylic paint comes in high viscosity and body, great for thick, Van Gogh-style paintings, thin, liquid acrylic paint to use for dreamy, watery landscapes and decorations.

Oil paint – such paints take longer to dry and blend well and mix/transition the colors easier and better. Oil paint needs some canvas preparation, as the oils can degrade the fabrics over time. The good part is that oil paints keep their original colors when they dry.

Watercolors – this type of paint is not extremely popular because watercolors fade in time and dissipate if you wash the tote bag, but they allow you to create dreamy atmospheres and abstract paintings that do not need crisp, sharp lines.
Preparation of tote bag before start painting. A tote bag is not the same thing as a sheet of canvas that painters use. This is why you need to prep your tote bag, remembering it was at least two sides and handles. Stretch your tote bag, so it does not fold, crease, or wrinkle as you work on it with brushes, water, and paint. You can clip the four corners of the tote bag onto the corners of a flat sheet of rectangular/square hard plastic or board. The handles can hang outside the working sheet of plastic if you do not want to paint them. Moreover, if you want to paint only one side of the canvas tote bag, make sure you insert a sheet of plastic or board inside the bag, so the water and colors do not transfer from one side of the tote to the other one. This plastic or board piece should fit perfectly inside the bag, allow it to stretch a little, and have the same size as the bag and the other sheet of plastic underneath the bag.

Then your canvas tote bag is ready for your kid to enjoy his/her time. When they complete the work, you will have yourself a personalized tote bag made by your kids.
