Looking for a new way to paint with your toddler? Try this!
Get some cardboard and draw out some egg shapes. Cut these out and then use a glue gun to glue on different kinds of pasta. Once they are glued, let your toddlers paint away! (Older toddlers can help pick out the pasta and glue)
Having a different canvas turns painting into a whole new activity. And there are so many great benefits of painting that they can develop or strengthen by practicing more.
Benefits of painting:
- Fosters creativity and imagination
- Resets emotions and relaxes them
- Develops patience and focus
- Practices hand eye coordination
- Learn about color mixing
- Work on decision making by choosing what colors to use and where
BONUS TIP: If your little ones love mixing up their colors and they always end up making everything brown or grey, try this – only give them complementary colors to use (red, blue, white – so when they mix it only turns to purple)
Have fun painting!
