Give them lots of different materials to work with. Parents can demonstrate new types of art materials. Find an art activity that's at the right level for your child, then let him do as much of the project as possible. Ask your preschooler to talk about his picture. Display your child's art prominently in your home.
Art projects can spark young imaginations and help children to express themselves.
These projects also help children to develop the eye and hand coordination they will later need to learn to write. Any household task can become a good learning game and can be fun. Explain why the family needs the job done. Describe how you will do it and how your child can help. Teach your child new words that belong to each job.
