Art projects for a two year old?

Question

I'm looking for SIMPLE art projects for a two year old. Thanks for your ideas.

Answer 1

I used to be an art teacher for elementary age kids- but I'll give some advice.

Finger paints are the best thing ever for kids- especially the little ones (unless of course your son is a germaphobe like my son).

shaving cream on tables, clean mud is fun to play with (laundry detegent- liquid and newspaper and water)

Coloring pages

paper bag puppets

popsicle stick people

necklaces, bracelets (great for developing fine motor skills as well and hand/eye coordination)

Answer 2

My favorite project ever when I was little was making a HUGE Fred Flinnstone out of different materials. We put him on the wall and then would make different clothes for different seasons.

Also, painting is always creative.

Decorating paper plates with various things such as drawings or glueing things on.

Answer 3

fingerpainting drawing coloring

Answer 4

fingerprinting

Answer 5

making things with clay is always a good idea and there's drawing and painting too...

Answer 6

I have a three year old sister that goes to daycare and she brings home the most simplest projects that she had a blast doing.

They fingerpaint.

They get the brown lunch sacks and put a picture or a cash register on it and cut a C**t through the drawer and then have paper money and they play like that is there cash register.  She loves that.

They also use the brown lunch sacks as the lunch box and inside they have a sandwich, a carton of milk, vegetables.  The way they make those three items is they get two of the same pictures of each item and they put cotton between them and tape the sides of them to wear they arent just flat and that is there play lunch and they learn which foods are what.  She loves that too.

They use coloring pages of just simple things like just a big picture of a dog or cat or duck and they cut the color paper into pieces and glue them on there.

All sorts of simple ideas like that i am sure they will love.
