Painting Tips: Handmade Bookmark

Wish you were in the pink of health

For this week updates, we would like to contribute on Art Class; making a finger-painting bookmark.

Art is a lie that makes us realize truth ~ Pablo Picasso

Some of tips on painting with baby & toddler:

Remember that it’s the process, not the product, that’s important.
Plan simple art projects to avoid confusing and frustrating your toddler.
Keep an open mind. Your toddlers may have different ideas about how to use the materials you’ve provided.
Sit down with your toddlers as they are creating.
Talk about what they’re doing and join in the creative process.
Offer suggestions by modeling them, rather than explaining them.
When painting, place papers on old newspaper to keep messes to a minimum.
Toddlers love using paintbrushes, but they may also enjoy painting with such things as craft sticks, spoons, cotton swabs, feathers, and sponges.
Tape 3 or 4 regular crayons together to make a crayon just the right size for a toddler’s hand *could make “rainbow art” too!*
Cover a table with butcher paper and let your children draw or paint all over it.
Invite your toddlers to stand up while finger-painting. This allows them to involve their arms and bodies in the process.
Be sure to give your child plenty of space for moving around.
Dressed your kiddies with old clothings before starting any art project, it will prevent you from being crabby to ‘em
