Painting For Toddlers - Art For Toddlers and Their Playgrounds

As a new parent, one of the most common apprehensions I have is painting for toddlers. It seems like painting is a job for the adults and I don't want to be responsible for staining my child's room! But with the right set up and guidelines you can be certain that your little guy will have great fun painting and you'll be sure their room is going to be absolutely awesome! Use these tips for painting for toddlers to setup great art adventures for your toddler at home! This article will explain how to set things up so your toddler will love his new room.

One of the first things you need to do is find a canvas to paint on. You'll need something that is big enough for your kids (obviously), but you should also make sure it is made of sturdy material so the paint won't peel. A canvas that has been treated with protection chemicals is ideal so it doesn't get damaged easily and the colors won't bleed through.

Next, let your little artist to choose the colors he wants to paint. Most toddlers love bold and bright colors, so try to paint your canvas in those shades. You could also ask your toddler to choose his favorite colors and use those as the color inspiration for the painting. Be sure to pick colors that your kids will enjoy painting for years! After all, a good painting session can really help develop your little painter's talents!

The third step is setting up the painting activity itself. A good painting activity for toddlers should require very little supervision, but still require the children to have lots of fun. You can do this with just watercolor painting, crayons, or markers. If you want, you could also include play dough for more fun! Your toddler will have loads of fun running around with different bits of clay, and you'll be happy to see their enthusiasm for painting surfaces shine through.

To help keep the butterflies feeling inspired, I recommend using an old wool rug as a "cover" over your toddler's work area. Using a cover like this also allows you to easily change the painting style without having to redraw the painting. Another great painting activity for toddlers is butterfly painting. Butterflies are simple creatures anyway, and with the right brush and paints, you can create some truly awesome butterfly paintings that your toddler will treasure for many years to come.

To create these paintings, I recommend using paints specifically designed for butterfly painting. For a 10-day project, I recommend going with paints that are either enamel or liquid. These types of paints will dry much slower, so they'll still look amazing after a week or two. Plus, these types of paints are available in beginner, intermediate, and professional grades, which give you plenty of options for painting for toddlers. These paints are available at art stores everywhere, and even at some online art galleries, so there's no excuse to pass up painting for toddlers when you can get the perfect butterfly painting for your child today!
