I have been trying my hands at toddler art for a few days now. From palm printing, crayon art to mess-free Ziploc art, I am giving my little guy an exposure to various forms of art, colouring and painting activity.
While he has enjoyed each of it, he is still too young to take to any of these for too long and actually keep engaged and busy with any kind of art. I just like to make an early start and give him different creative experiences and will let him figure out for himself where his interests lay.
As part of my latest experiment, I tried making some homemade, edible and completely washable paint. The sort of paint that is completely toddler or even baby friendly. Best used as finger paints to create messy art and for sensory play.
Ingredients
All Purpose Flour - 1 cup
Water - 1 cup
Food Colours
Method
- Mix together equal portions of flour and water.
- Make a lump-free thick batter.
- Divide into little portions and add food colour to each.
Voila... Your paints are ready!
My little guy was amused by it. He took his time to understand the texture of the paints.
After a while began splashing it on the paper that I had laid down in front of him.
Eventually, he became the canvas for his art work and was decently covered in paint... thankfully, they are completely washable and do not leave any stains... so yay! :)
