Simple Process Sensory Art Activity for Toddlers and Babies
Although we love doing toddler crafts with our little ones it is really important that process art is mixed in with the crafts.
Process art is a sensory, exploratory and fun activity for toddlers and babies.
They can use their fingers, hands and tools to mix, work the paint and media and to explore what happens when they do things.
Here’s a simple Process Art Activity you can do with your toddler and sitting babies for fun.
Process Art with Babies and Toddlers
As above. This will not make anything, in particular, it’s an exploration into colour and textures for your little ones.
With babies, we recommend using our Taste Safe Paint Recipe as this is homemade doesn’t contain any chemicals and can be used easily with your little ones.
Older babies and toddlers finger paints are ideal to use or ready-mixed tempera/poster paints.
Although you can make this a craft. We did it more often just to experiment with colours and mark making.
Containing the mess when you do this at home means that it was easier to do this in a high chair during the rainy days.
However, if you have space in the garden it’s a great activity to do outdoors where you can wash your tots down afterwards.
