art for 2-3 year olds. I used white card stock. Dropped blue paint on one side of the paper, yellow on the other & told the wee ones to use their fingers & see if they can find green. I bought the foam stickers at the dollar tree & picked out all the green animals. I told the kids if they could find green, they would get stickers. WOW, what a joy to watch them turn two different colors into a completely different color. Magic. My son made this one. I have it framed & i stuck it in his room. He is almost 10 years old & has never asked me to remove it. Maybe he remembers the magic.

What a wonderful way to do it. Unfortunately my kids are too old for the magic (they mostly take all the colours and make ‘chocolate’!)

I explain that if you take 100 colors & mix them all together, the color would be mud. Your children are not too old for magic. No one is. An interest that pulls you in & makes time irrelevant~puts you in the present (a rare & beautiful place). That is magic. Use the color wheel. I’ve taught art to people as young as 2 & as old as 70. If you pull them into the present, they feel the magic. Ask your kids to find green. & be excited when they do. Give them a paint brush & turn it upside down & show them they can draw pictures in the wet paint. Use a plastic fork, poke the paint with a pinky, find a paper towel roll that is empty & make circles in the wet paint. There are treasures to pull out of paint. 🙂 ~amy

I usually roll out giant paper and let them paint with their feet (my son ALWAYS paints his entire body!) My favourite is painting in the bath. When they’re done I shower everyone and everything down!
