My “Fun Rules” to enjoy your art & craft projects even more!
- Keep the supplies accessible and within your child’s reach. However, always watch your child to avoid accidents.
- Let your child lead you! Sometimes they have better ideas than us.
- Set up a dedicated space where he can sit and make his art & craft projects! Not sure how to set up your child’s play/art area? Check out my blog Organizing Your Toddler’s Play Area to know more.
- Do not panic about the mess he makes. It is okay. Art is messy and it is a sign of creativity too!!
- Teach them to clean up after they are done, it induces discipline & respect for the things they have!
- Let them be creative.
