She's 9 months. Last week they did a "night and day" thing where the babies stuck sticky stars and suns onto black and white construction paper. Apparently DD had to be persuaded not to consume the stars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2425313 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:45:05 +0000 regberadaisy 2425313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started letting A around 15.5 months? But only washable markers because she still puts most things in her mouth. I didn't allow it before then because everrrrything went in her mouth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2423055 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 08:34:54 +0000 edelweiss 2423055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i tried at various points with my now 3 year old starting when he was about 1.5, but he's never been into it. not even at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2423030 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 08:10:20 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2423030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if this falls into art projects, but at that age, DD loved Avery dot stickers (office supply section for color coding). She'd pile them on top of each other or stick them together forming a line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2423001 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 07:32:40 +0000 looch 2423001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did finger painting at around a year, I'd squeeze some paint onto the tray of my son's high chair and he'd just smush it around.</p> <p>We also did playdough, but I'd basically flatten out a big piece and he'd stick things in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2422913 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 23:47:47 +0000 Miss Ariel 2422913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not brave enough to pull anything out yet, but K's been doing art projects at daycare. Sometimes with a crayon but mostly finger paint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2422709 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 20:51:13 +0000 autumnlove 2422709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around one year! Zero attention span hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2422700 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 20:45:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2422700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know we started doing finger painting occasionally before a year- but it's obviously very messy so it was a rare thing. She didn't really care for crayons for a long time but now at 2.5 she loves all art stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2422696 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 20:42:42 +0000 FaithFertility 2422696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G finger prints at her sitters and we have played with play doh a few times but she wasn't to into it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-art-projects-with-your-toddler#post-2422692 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 20:38:34 +0000 winniebee 2422692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember when I started doing little art projects with my DS1 - coloring, play doh, painting, etc. I feel like it had to be after 15/16 months. DS2 seems interested at 13 months - at a play space today, he really wanted to draw with crayons. So I'm thinking maybe throw that into the rotation. I'm sure he'll do it for one minute and then move on : ) </p>
