The next few Mommy Mondays we will be sharing Charmaine's ideas!
PAINTING
· Babies and Young Toddlers: Finger painting with food!
o Baby food as a palette
o Carrots, peas, chocolate pudding, yogurt
o High chair, plate, slice of toast is your canvas
· Toddlers: Painting and Introducing the Unexpected!
o Washable paints
o Use unconventional items – golf balls, corn cobs, cut-up sponges, cotton balls
o Stamping - marshmallows, apple halves, lemons as stamps
o Have a dedicated space to be uninhibited or take the fun outside
· Preschoolers: Fine Motor and Creativity
o Incorporate different paints – glitter, watercolors
o Introduce 3-D materials – popsicle sticks, pom poms, wood, clay, etc.
o Collages are a blast – use construction paper, tissue paper, cotton, newspaper, magazines, stickers
· Kindergarteners: Their Own Interpretation
o Print real works of art and have your child make their own version
o Jackson Pollack, Picasso, Renoir, Van Gogh, have fun with it!
o Use favorite places and books are inspiration as well
· Less Mess Ways to Channel Your Little Artiste
o Crayola dot markers
o Melissa & Doug triangular crayons
o Crayola window crayons
o Large washable ink-pads
o Rubbings – take leaves, colander, textured items and run with a crayon
o Make an Art Box –personalize the box, include pencils, pens, markers, crayons, more
o Every house needs an easel, dry erase board, paper rolls
