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.
I want to stock up on some tissue paper so she can make some "sun catchers" for the front windows!

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.

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! 
He's 2.

@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
@jhd: oh man, stickers. Mine is obsessed too! What is it about stickers?!

@sorrycharlie: Hahahaha. Amazing. I was surprised she liked the chalk because like @jhd: said, crayons have not been a big hit yet.

@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!

@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.
@mfa_lady: that is the same thing B does with chalk.

@sorrycharlie: A is the same! She's 22m and still tries to eat crayons and paint.
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.

@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.
@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

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.

I forgot about those little beads you have to iron to make a pattern (I hate those things) and normal beads for making necklaces. I try to hide all our beads, but she always manages to spontaneously ask for them.
