On this page we will list recipes or ideas for art and sensory play that you might try as they come up from our blog posts. We hope you will enjoy trying these art ideas together. You can try them in any order you like, but if this is your first time trying art together, we recommend that you start with ‘First Painting‘ to get you going or have a look at our new book of ideas. Nothing needs to be perfect. It is just about letting your wee one be creative, explore the different materials and enjoy their time with you. We like to think about giving wee ones an ‘invitation’ to make art and then following their lead to see what they create. If the art turns out nothing like ours, don’t worry about it! These are just prompts to get you started – your goal is to have fun, and enjoy making your mark together!
