This easy art project is for the wee ones. Not only is this easy, it’s very quick, and you will be left with the sweetest little masterpiece for your wall. What is better than smiley faces painted by preschoolers?
Beckett wanted to paint something on a wooden plaque when he saw us working on our alien and robot portraits.
I obliged him and set him up with a few paints, a big old paintbrush and a wooden plaque (found at craft stores.)
He painted an extremely happy happy face.
The end.
It’s funny how this simple little painting he did is one of my favorite pieces of art ever, because it’s on a special little plaque, it’s so simple, and represents a happy, creative moment I was sharing with my kids.
I think that’s one of the draws of easy art projects for me- kids don’t really get frustrated or bored, so the mood is usually pretty light and fun.
Plus it keeps them coming back for more.

I love this so, so, so much. I shared it on my FB page, and it got a whopping 30 views. I’m sorry, FB, but that is not enough smiley faces.
Aww, I love it! Such a good point to keep it fun and simple. My son can get so frustrated sometimes.
Such a happy art project for preschoolers or even toddlers! Makes me smile back!
Oh kids would love to do this project. I for one like drawing smileys. LOL
