Many of you have probably know I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter. If you are friends with me on Instagram you have seen pics of her. I LOVE that she loves art. She has a creative spark to her and her favorite art materials are oil pastels, watercolors and markers. She doesn’t like getting messy, so we usually have a wet paper towel or baby wipe nearby. This summer she went to a preschool camp (which was in the mornings on Tues/Thurs in July) and we went together to a toddler/preschool art class on Fridays.
I wanted to show you some of the fun things she made in case you work with the littles or to remind you of fun techniques (like crayon shavings melted in wax paper) that you may have forgotten about.
They read the book Mouse Shapes and then put together a mouse from precut shapes. The background was painted with a glittery tempera paint.
She made this at her preschool with tissue paper, glue and precut shapes.
They read a book about trains and then created these trains with construction paper, watercolor paints, pom pons and foam wheels.
Made with crayon shavings, wax paper and paper plate.
This poor little snake lost one eye! Daria had fun anyway painting the plate and using paint dotters.
Silly folded hat! Made with oil pastel, chalk pastel, foam shape stickers, beads and pipe cleaners.
Daria likes to take her toys, set them up and then look at them closely while drawing them. She has a plethora of My Little Pony and princess pictures. Here is one of my favorites she drew of Mickey Mouse.
Daria had the idea to pick some of our hosta flowers and tape them to a paper. Then she drew this picture around it.
