Kids have an endless and overflowing amount of energy. It shows in their imaginative play and their innate ability to make something out of nothing. For kids, art is an amazing outlet to channel that boundless energy into something creative. Crafts allow kids to explore, imagine and create something all their own that they can be proud of. It fosters creativity, confidence, focus and problem solving. The benefits are endless!
With school out for summer and with kids bursting with a need to be active, here are 3 painting ideas that are fun, affordable and easy to do at home. Spark kids’ creativity and imagination while keeping them active and learning! No numbers or letters needed, just a paintbrush and a blank canvas.
