You’ll be ready for arts and crafts time with your baby!

Make it bigger! Obviously, babies are more suited to gross motor skills and haven’t developed the muscles or coordination needed for more intricate art projects. Easy fix! Instead of small paintbrushes, use oversized sponges. Swap small art paper for a big roll of craft paper. Supersize your art!
Keep it down low. With arts and crafts projects meant for older children, most babies will have a hard time accessing the materials. Those little arms can only reach so far! Instead, move the project down to the floor. Lay down a protective layer of newspaper underneath, or even take it outside! Watch while baby paints with his hands and toes. Nothing is off limits!
Swap paint for edible options. You can use edible paint instead of toxic paint if you’re worried your baby will try to sneak a taste. Try this: Mix food coloring into plain yogurt for instant DIY edible finger paint!
Enjoy the process! Making arts and crafts with your baby isn’t about creating stunning masterpieces. Don’t stress, and keep it simple. The real masterpiece is watching your baby explore, develop curiosity, and have fun with hands-on art projects!
