Tape it down and let your kids Paint over it making sure to keep the sides down on the taped images.  You can also use rubber cement for this step to make it a smoother surface when complete.

You can see how each age did a varied version of the Father’s Day Art Work. We still keep them both up on our walls to remember their creativity!
