I try to hide all our beads, but she always manages to spontaneously ask for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570855 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 15:08:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2570855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loves painting. Mostly watercolor, but would prefer acrylic if we let her (I'm lazy to bust those out). Coloring in printed images of Disney princess pets are a recent hit. She also loves cutting up pieces of paper and taping things together. Now that she's almost 4, stickers are no longer as fun (for me) since she sticks them all over the place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570693 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:49:45 +0000 jhd 2570693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: the sticker fascination started last summer and is still going strong. I don't know what it is about them! Forgot to add my LO also loves stamps. We got an abc set at Michael's and washable ink. </p> <p>@mfa_lady: the water wow is awesome. I just ordered my LO a second one (different theme). LO will play with it for a while on trips. LO doesn't really like regular paint with water but loves this. At least I am not the only one with a LO who doesn't like crayons yet. I thought all kids liked them! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570682 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:44:23 +0000 regberadaisy 2570682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: A is the same! She's 22m and still tries to eat crayons and paint. 😁 She can't be trusted with art stuff and refuses to sit in her booster. Of course, at daycare she sits just fine because all the kids are!</p> <p>M really likes sitting and cutting. It's hard with baby sister around but I'll let her sit at the dining table and cut scrap paper into a Tupperware bowl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570642 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:10:33 +0000 matador84 2570642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Color wonder markers<br /> Coloring on the easel and floor on big easel paper<br /> Stickers<br /> Watercolors<br /> Finger paint<br /> I'll tape off canvas when on sale and let them go to town<br /> I keep stuff on hand to do crafts with--sequins, beads, pipe cleaners, poms, Popsicle sticks--we're making a Popsicle craft this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570626 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:57:51 +0000 whiskers 2570626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: B just has free reign over A's stuff. She helps herself and makes messes. She loves it all. We work on ONLY ON THE PAPER a lot. </p> <p>@mfa_lady: that is the same thing B does with chalk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570604 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:42:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 2570604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: yeah - she is TROUBLE. Check out water wow! They dry and you can re use them over and over, my older one loves them. You just fill the little paint pen thing with water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570597 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:37:34 +0000 mfa_lady 2570597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Hahahaha. Amazing. I was surprised she liked the chalk because like @jhd: said, crayons have not been a big hit yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570594 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:36:25 +0000 sorrycharlie 2570594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: I'm dying to let C do some stuff. She still eats everything. She turns around so we can't see her (um, ok!) and licks it carefully first LOL. I'm going to start her out with a water wow and I figure worst case she just drinks the water bahaha</p> <p>@jhd: oh man, stickers. Mine is obsessed too! What is it about stickers?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570586 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:31:59 +0000 jhd 2570586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves stickers and paint. Markers and sidewalk chalk are also favorites. He's not very into crayons yet. Just likes to talk about all the colors and throw them! :silly: He's 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570582 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:30:22 +0000 mfa_lady 2570582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure this counts, but E has recently become obsessed with sidewalk chalk. Her fave is to scribble all over whatever pitiful pictures I try to draw for her. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kinds-of-arts-and-crafts-do-your-kids-like#post-2570567 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:19:31 +0000 sorrycharlie 2570567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is almost 4 and she's really been into coloring lately. She's always up for painting but I'm lazy, HAHA. That can only be done with my youngest is napping because she manages to reach everything.</p> <p>I want to stock up on some tissue paper so she can make some "sun catchers" for the front windows! </p>
