Our Top Picks for Children’s Art Week

Finger Painting: Provide large sheets of paper and non-toxic finger paints. Let the children explore and create colorful masterpieces using their fingers. Encourage them to mix colors and experiment with different patterns.

Collage Creations: Set up a collage station with various materials such as colored paper, feathers, buttons, ribbons, and fabric scraps. Let the children use their imagination to create unique collages by sticking these items onto a base paper.

Nature Art: Take the kids on a nature walk and collect leaves, flowers, twigs, and other exciting items. Back in the classroom, use these natural materials to create art pieces like leaf rubbings or flower prints, nature brushes, etc.

Playdough Sculptures: Provide the children with different colored playdough and some safe sculpting tools, such as play dough cutters, blunt scissors, knives, and skewers. Encourage them to mold and shape the dough into various objects and creatures.

Bubble Wrap Stamping: Cut pieces of bubble wrap into small squares and attach them to wooden blocks to make stamps. Dip the stamps in non-toxic paint and let the kids stamp them onto paper, creating textured patterns.

Shape and Color Scavenger Hunt: Hide various colored shapes around the classroom or play area. Give the children a basket and have them find the shapes. Once they’ve gathered all the shapes, have them sort and arrange them by color.

Handprint Art: Guide the children to dip their hands in non-toxic, washable paint and press them onto paper or other surfaces to create colorful prints, enhancing their fine motor skills as they carefully position their hands for printing and encouraging creativity and self-expression, allowing children to use their imagination to transform handprints into various animals, objects, or even people.

Sensory Art Exploration: Set up different sensory stations with materials like colored rice, sand, pasta, and colored water. Give the little hands some manipulatives or small figurines of sea animals, dinosaurs, or jungle animals to create their habitat, or let the children just use their hands to explore and create art in these sensory bins.

Group Mural: Create a large mural on a wall or a long sheet of paper. Give them an assortment of art tools and brushes. Let the kids work together to paint the mural, allowing them to add their unique artistic touches.
