To start our set of art activities we're kicking off with finger painting. This is a nice way to introduce your young child to paint and you can control the mess by limiting the amount of paint you use and by having a bowl of soapy water nearby!
I always give my boy one colour at a time as he is still young and gets a bit overwhelmed with more than one ending up with the paint going everywhere! This is an activity we have done with him since birth when we took hand and feet prints on a regular basis.
As Easter has been in the air we decided to use the finger prints to make little cards. It's always lovely to follow up an activity in this way as it makes it more purposeful. Even if the child knows they are painting a picture for someone, they will be more motivated with any activity.
