Children under the age of 4 are more about the PROCESS with art and really could care less about an end product - so just giving them a 'medium' to explore and helping them learn how to use it 'safely and respectfully'.

For infants / toddlers

Contact paper collage - put down a square of contact paper and add 'bits and bobs' to stick onto it ... tissue squares, sequence, shapes of paper and so forth than cover with another piece of contact paper to make suncatcher for your window.

Paint with a variety of tools to learn about different ways to make textures and patterns with paint .... use kitchen tools - potato mashers, rolling pins, flyswatters, kitchen scrubbers, sponges, different sizes paint brushes from thin to chunky brushed, use bubble wrap, string, feathers, q tips and well the possibilities are as endless as your imagination.

TAPE ... toddlers love to play with tape - it sticky, things stick to it it sticks to them!

Explore with pipe cleaners - twisting, connecting, creating 'things' with them ... great and reusable craft for toddlers!

PLAY DOUGH ... oh hours of fun pinching and poking things into play dough!
