Painting activity to do with your child.
What You Need:
• A small tub, container, or bucket
• Water
• A paint brush
What To Do:
1. Give your toddler a small plastic tub of water and a paint brush.
2. Find a suitable fence or wall outside for her to “paint.”
3. Show her how to dip her brush in the water and “paint” the fence or wall.
4. Then, let her do it by herself.
5. Talk about her movements, for example, “up and down,” “side-to-side.”
Safety Alert: Toddlers love water. It’s fun to explore! But never take your eyes off your child while she’s in the bathtub or playing with a container of water. Your child’s top-heavy head may cause her to fall forward into the water and not be able to get up. Children can drown in a few inches of water.
