Let me know if you want some more ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-projects-for-young-toddlers#post-864845 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:21:08 +0000 Freckles 864845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a big poster board (mural kraft paper would work too) and taped it down to the floors, and let her go crazy with crayons. I also did some yogurt finger painting in the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-projects-for-young-toddlers#post-864717 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:26:04 +0000 808love 864717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This isn't exactly art but I put a strainer upside down and then LO poked colorful pipe cleaners inside. Great fine motor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-projects-for-young-toddlers#post-864685 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:14:01 +0000 looch 864685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he's past the stage of putting things in his mouth, you can do home made play dough. My son wouldn't touch it for the longest time, but I'd spread some out and he'd stick penne pasta in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-projects-for-young-toddlers#post-864246 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:28:28 +0000 heffalump 864246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had her paint by putting paper and paint in a zip lock, close it, and let her move around the paint. Mess free painting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-projects-for-young-toddlers#post-864170 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:46:26 +0000 chopsuey 864170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/02/23/diy-playdough/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/02/23/diy-playdough/</a></p> <p>Not sure if T's too young for this, but if it goes in his mouth, it's ok! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-projects-for-young-toddlers#post-864142 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:31:12 +0000 chopsuey 864142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have M fingerpaint.
