Young at Art

Colorful activities for inspiring self-expression.

Young at Art

Whenever we see a young child draw with finger paints on paper, chalk on a sidewalk, or even yogurt on a high chair tray, we're reminded of Picasso's famous claim that "all children are artists." Just offer them some supplies and a watchful eye (you don't want any items heading mouthward), and you'll see the creative process unfold. So wrap your tot in a smock, cover the table and floor (and dog!) with newspaper, and let him get his hands on one of these cool experiments in color, texture, and design.
