Explore paints with your baby once they are able to sit up in high chair or Bumbo. Great for encouraging your baby to explore and interact! Painting with little ones can help to stimulate their senses through the use of bright colours.
This week we decided to be brave and get out the paints. The children were so excited to watch Tinnie play with the paints that they even asked if he could have his turn first before I set it up for them. The idea was to allow Tinnie to explore the texture and colour of the paint. This was the only outcome I had planned and the art would be kept as a keep sake and to make a nice present for the children's nanny. I kept the colours simple by only using two at a time.
I added the finger paints to the paper in large blobs. This acted as a great invitation for Tinnie to grab a hold of the paint and then smear it onto the paper. He was so excited that he kept causing the paper to shot across the tray and onto the floor. P was a great assistant at holding the paper on the tray.
