Question

What are some good art projects for 2 to 3 year olds?

Answer 1

i think the best thing you could do is let them finger paint

Answer 2

Think of the children-what are their interests?

eg: (IDeas I've done)

Nursery Rhymes-Humpty Dumpty we made a display-children painted a wall-exploring texture of real bricks, made a Humpty by scrunching paper, horse from material and talked about rhyme as they did it!

Garden-flower handprints (handprints were petals), finger painted stalks, children can make bees, butterflies etc to go on the display.

Truck prints: children dipped trucks, cars (toys ones) in paint and rolled over paper-older ones made a kind of road to follow.

Junk Model: Bring in empty bottles, cereal packets, bottle tops etc adn chidlren can make models using glue andmaterials...can be anything they want--give ideas such as robot, horse etc

Make own instrument: similiar way to junk modelling-shakers 2 yoghurt pots and rick stuck together, drum-pringles tin and lid with stick (decorated) etc etc

Clay modelling-can buy air drying clay from craft shops-can use playdough tools to make shapes and patterns.

Hope there's some ideas you like here!

Answer 4

Three year old's can probably do a little more with the projects than twos but you can always adapt and let the end product be the art.

One thing I have found both ages like is finger painting with shaving cream and paint. Or using plastic bottles that have the shape of a flower on the bottom (20oz. Pepsi bottles) by placing them in paint and stamping onto construction paper.

Answer 5

You could buy non toxic paint and get the kids to finger paint. They really love to do that!
