No harm to it, of course, but that's mother love, not art education. Art education, from toddlers to teens and beyond, needs to be age-appropriate. Two is soon enough to start. Art begins at home. Get a tall stack of plain, white paper and paints and crayons,'' she said.

The place at Art Connections that the littlest museum visitors like best is the toddler-friendly reading area. The little ones are entertained by the books there, by the textures that might include carpet, fake fur, sand, cloth, feathers - and by the colors of the space, the shapes and possibility of the blocks. The things are stashed on reachable shelves. The tables and seating are child-size. The effect is, at once, quiet and vibrant.
