Art Idea

A great way to engage children in art is by print-making. We like to use various materials around our house like fruits and vegetables. We recently spent time cutting apples in half, exploring what they looked like, and then stamping them using the primary colours of paint.

Art Idea

A great art experience for young children is to have them paint using the following mixture: 2 parts sugar or salt with 1 part paint. The mixture will have a grainy texture to it, so have children use large brushes and a heavy piece of paper. When the paint dries it will have a sparkly look to it. It's great for this time of year!
