Description

This bathtub “paint” is washable, does not stain and will help you clean your tub!

---

Ingredients

• 1 Cup of Dish Soap
• 1/2 Cup of Cornstarch
• 1/2 Cup of Water
• Dye – we used food coloring

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

---

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, mix the cornstarch into the cold water until it is dissolved—it should still be a bit pasty, but not clumpy. Then turn up the heat and bring the cornstarch water to a boil – stir constantly to make sure there are no chunks.
2. Add the soap and mix, heating on medium temperature until just boiling. The soap should have a gel-like consistency as it cools.
3. Add food coloring.
   We have found that food coloring has the best results, but have also used tempera paint, really anything water-based should work fine to color the cornstarch/soap base.
4. Store your paint in an airtight container. The paint will separate slightly when stored, stir well before use. Test the paint on a patch of your tub to ensure that your food coloring does not stain – and have fun!

---

Notes

I used the antibacterial scented hand soap, but whatever you use, know your kids will coat themselves with it—so be sure to pick something you know they don’t have a reaction to.

The post How to Make a Homemade Bathtub Paint appeared first on The Artful Parent.

Updated July 2023

If you’re here, you likely have a baby and might be wondering when to introduce this baby to art. You might remember finger painting yourself as a child.

Once your baby can sit up, it’s a great time to introduce your child to finger painting!

Finger paint is washable and typically has a gelatinous texture that’s smooth and satisfying to touch and spread around with your fingers.

If you have a highchair, that’s a great place to scoop a blob of finger paint and watch the magic unfold. As your child grows, you can add paper to the mix, but it’s not necessary in the beginning.

Below is a round up of finger paints for babies and toddlers. Our team tried every one so be sure to check out our review of each paint.

These paints are divided up by order of introduction or how you the caregiver might choose to introduce them. With a very young baby (under 1), you are likely to want to err on the side of taste safe as everything will end up in your baby’s mouth. As your child grows, this might be less of a concern.

All paints listed are non toxic (of course!) We’ve also listed allergy information when available. If your child has food allergies, be sure to do your research as paints can contain unexpected allergens. With that said, all the paints we’ve included have disclosed this information for your peace of mind.

Fingerpaint for Young Babies

These fingerpaints are powder based, meaning you mix-your-own paints from a powder by combining with warm water.

1. Eco Kids

Recommended for ages 3 yr old+ but listed as a first art experience.

This paint is a nice vibrant color with a slightly gritty texture (but less so than Veggie Baby).

Mix only a small amount with a 1-1 ratio of powder to warm water. This will last 2 days in the refrigerator.

This is a great choice for a young baby or a child with food allergy concerns as the powder is comprised of fruit and vegetable extracts

2. Veggie Baby

Recommended age 6 months+

This is an excellent choice for a first art introduction. Mix 1 tsp powder with 2 tsp warm water (1:2 ratio) and let sit 10 minutes.

The powder definitely smells like veggie & spices. (Be aware the yellow powder has turmeric which can stain clothing.)

The final paints once applied to paper isn’t the nicest colors and has a gritty texture that you see in the paint.

This is still a great first introduction paint for baby (or a food sensitive child), especially if you’re not looking for a finished piece of art but focused on the experience.

Finger paint for Toddlers

1. Djeco

Recommended for 18 months+

These paints were my favorite for a finger paint that’s ready to use, squeezed straight from the bottle. They come in a nice color range (also available in pastel colors). These paints have a smooth feel, creamy texture––and no odor.

2. Jovi

Recommended for 2 years+

This company is based in Spain so unfortunately some of the nicer paint colors are hard to come by for those in the U.S. With that said, this paint had a nice, gelatinous, smooth texture along with some odor (compared with Djeco, which had none).

This paint is listed as gluten free and free of common food allergens, according to Jovi’s website (scroll down and click “allergies information”).

3. Crayola Stage 1 Washable Finger paint

Recommended for 1 year+

This is the standard finger paint with a glossy consistency and bright color. It’s probably what comes to mind when you think finger paint.

This fingerpaint has a paint odor, but is certified non toxic for kids and recommended for ages 12 month+. If your child is likely to put fingers in their mouth (which most babies/toddlers do) I’d lean towards a paint that has more disclosure of ingredients. Although, Crayola gives this disclaimer that most of their products are free of the following common allergens.

It’s unclear what is different about these fingerpaints compared to purchasing the bottles which are recommended for age 3 years+.

4. Micador No Drip Paint

Recommended for 1 year+

A nice consistency plus low odor makes this paint perfect for finger painting or use with a brush. The paint has a (non toxic) bitter taste that encourages young artists to keep it out of their mouthes.

Fingerpaint Paper for Kids

Fingerpaint paper isn’t strictly necessary but it is a nice add on. It has a glossy surface that pairs nicely as kids’ hands can slide smoothly across the surface while painting. It typically comes in a large (12×18″) pad that you can tear off pieces of and tape to the table or high chair.

You can of course use any paper you have on hand but fingerpaint paper does acts similarly to wax paper in holding onto the paint and not letting it saturate through the back of the paper.

1. Melissa & Doug Finger Paint Paper Pad
2. Crayola Giant Fingerpaint Pad

People Also Ask

• What age should you start finger painting? Fingerpainting is a great activity to introduce once babies can sit up, on average, around 6 months. An easy way to try fingerpainting with your baby is at a highchair to help make for an easier cleanup.
• Is fingerpaint edible? Some fingerpaint brands such as Eco Kids or Veggie Baby are vegan and made from veggie/fruit based extracts. Be especially aware to find out paint ingredients if your child has food allergies of any kind. There are also many homemade fingerpaint recipes out there for peace of mind in this instance.
• What is finger paint paper? This is a glossier surfaced paper that is smooth to the touch and easy to glide paint over. The paper is specially formulated to keep paint from leaking through the back of the paper.

The post The BEST Finger Paint for Kids in 2023 appeared first on The Artful Parent.

Updated March 2023

If you’re a parent or caretaker of a young child, you might be wondering when to introduce your baby to art? Around 6-9 months is a wonderful time to begin to slowly introduce new materials.

But where to start?

It can be totally overwhelming––and quite expensive buying all those art supplies.

This list is intentionally short and sweet compared to our Best Art Supplies for Toddlers. We want to help you get started with the basics–without breaking the bank or stressing. These art materials are versatile and will go a long way.

Art supplies can be introduce around 6 months (or once your baby can sit). If you have an older baby, definitely check out our toddler content with tips to get started and recommended art supplies as well.

Tips, Safety + Expectations

All recommendations listed below are supplies for babies that are non toxic (of course!). Babies will likely want to taste, but gently move their hands away and remind the child, “this goes on paper.” This reminder will continue for quite some time!

Some homemade materials are taste safe as well. If your child has any food allergies, be sure to check paints and playdough especially for ingredients.

The good news with all of this––simple is best.

Let your child explore the art supplies over and over. This first step is all about introducing your child to art and mostly, having fun!

Baby Art Supplies

For babies, we’re sticking to homemade and finger paints for babies. If your child is ready for tempera paint and a brush (try around 1 year old), see The Best Art Supplies for Toddlers.

Pro tip: Be sure to look for the ACMI safety seal to ensure art supplies for kids are non toxic.

1. Paint

• Favorite All-Around Finger paint: Djeco

See our reviews of five top fingerpaint brands: The Best Fingerpaint for Babies.

• Homemade Fingerpaint recipe

I’ve made this simple finger paint recipe from our friend Rachelle at Tinkerlab. It’s easy & you’ll feel good knowing every ingredient is taste safe for your child.

• Easy Edible Paint with Yogurt Add food coloring to yogurt & combine until the color is incorporated. This works as a finger paint option in the high chair & is also (of course) gluten free. It’s a nice starter fingerpaint as babies explore materials with their taste as well.

• Paint with Water

Painting on cardboard or chalkboard with water is another simple opportunity for babies to practice grasping and moving their bodies during painting.

2. Drawing

These are our top recommendations for drawing supplies for babies. Both Kitpas & Kwik Stix are vibrant, easy to use and make bright marks. Pretty satisfying for early art experiences when little muscles are just beginning to grasp materials.

• Kitpas crayon blocks are buttery soft and vibrant. Easy for young children to make marks on paper with little pressure needed. The block form is also easier for young children to grasp.

Try Kitpas on windows or add water for watercolor painting. We love the versatility.

• Kwik Stix tempera paint sticks are a great introduction to painting for the young child. Although different from the sensory experience of fingerpainting or traditional painting with a brush, these provide a neater painting option that’s still very fun.

3. Playdough

This no cook playdough is my go-to. We consider it a staple and always have some on our art cart. (This cooked playdough recipe is another great option for long lasting dough.)

If you’d like to purchase playdough, try Colorations or Eco Kids, especially the latter if you’d like to buy a product with plant based dyes and ingredients you recognize.

4. Art in the Tub

There’s really no easier place to contain the mess and make for easy cleanup than in the bathtub, am I right? In warmer weather, the mess can also move outdoors and if you have a hose or bucket with water, you can do the majority of the cleanup outside.

Here are two art supplies to try that won’t stain the bathtub and babies can experiment with over multiple sessions.

• Homemade Bathtub Paint is easy to whip up with just dish soap, cornstarch and water. Add color as you choose, a major perk of making your own art supplies.

• Kitspas Bath crayons are made of rice bran and nice and bright. They easily wipe off of the bathtub with water & a washcloth. Try the whole set or just a few to get started.

If you are a parent or caretaker of a baby, you may be wondering how to engage them as they move past the early infant stage.

Once your child can sit up independently, a whole exciting new world begins to emerge! And then the crawling starts…

Here are a few of my favorite sensory play ideas especially for babies.

These activities are taste safe and involve materials that avoid any potential choking hazards. With that said, your baby will almost certainly want to investigate with all their senses, including tasting. Stay nearby to ensure your baby’s safety at all times.

You’re not going to want to miss the delight on their faces as eyebrows raise, smiles emerge and little legs kick with excitement. ☺️

Sensory Play for Babies

1. Water

This is by far the easiest set up because water alone is enough to keep your baby engaged splish splashing.

Fill a container just an inch with water and stay nearby to ensure safety of your child. You might add an orange or lemon to float around or cut citrus in half for tasting.

2. Ice

Ice cubes or big blocks of ice are fun for babies to try to grasp. Put them in a container or tape a piece of bubble wrap to the floor and add ice for a very fun sensory play experience for the crawling baby.

3. Aquafaba

Have you ever heard of aquafaba? It’s the liquid from a can of chickpeas! Whip it with cream of tartar to add stability and you’ve got yourself a completely taste safe play material.

I heard about this material when both my children were very young and found it to be a wonderful alternative to bubble foam when they were always putting materials in their mouth.

Find the recipe and instructions for making aquafaba here.

4. Tapioca pearls

This is water beads safety conscious cousin. Tapioca pearls are the taste safe version of water beads and tapioca pearls (pictured above) are the tiny version.

I prefer these to water beads, which although mesmerizing, have serious health concerns if accidentally ingested.

5. Peas

Ali from Creationspace shared the idea of using frozen peas or corn in water for a fun sensory play material.

We’ve tried this one a few times and it’s wonderfully easy. Adapt this for older siblings with the addition of strainers and vessels for pouring.

6. Cornmeal

Credit for this idea also goes to Creationspace. Cornmeal is fun on its own for babies to touch. As your child gets older, add in a whole sensory experience of smells with cinnamon sticks or ground spices for a pretend bakery!

The post 6 Baby Sensory Play Activities appeared first on The Artful Parent.

Updated February 2022

If you’ve been reading The Artful Parent for any length of time, you know how important we think introducing kids to new art materials is, even at a really early age. The joy and wonder that the littlest ones have while smooshing and splattering paint is pretty magical.

We hope this post, written by Andres Solorzano, of the Zimmer Children’s Museum in Los Angeles, inspires you to see the many possibilities for creativity in young children. And maybe it will even inspire you to host your own art crawl for babies or toddlers!

In my time at the Zimmer Children’s Museum, finding engaging and worthwhile art experiences for children has sometimes proved to be a daunting task in such a tech-focused city. 

It can be especially challenging for parents seeking a safe, engaging, age-appropriate art experience for their youngest of children; toddlers and crawlers. Fortunately, making art with babies can be tons of fun in the right venue!

At the Zimmer Children’s Museum, where we are “Playing Our Way to A Better World”, we have come up with a simple way to get crawlers & toddlers on their first steps to an art-filled life.

We call it Art Crawl.  I’d love to share it with you.

Baby Painting Ideas

To start off, here’s a list of supplies that are helpful for baby painting.

MATERIALS

• White butcher paper
• Tape
• Non-toxic water-based paint or edible flour paint (see recipe below)
• Silicone pastry brushes
• Plates (paper or plastic)
• Bucket or mixing tub
• Toys such as balls or cars with wheels (optional)
• Towels
• Baby wipes

1. The Layout

First, we need to turn the entire room into our canvas. At the Zimmer, we roll out enough white butcher paper to cover the entire surface! That way, kids can walk, crawl, or just sit and explore materials at their own pace. Art with babies and toddlers made simple!

Butcher paper is perfect for a quick setup and is strong enough to handle the paint while still bright enough to let the colors shine. Tape each sheet of paper to the next, overlapping only slightly. 

2. The Tools

Next, we collect our baby-safe painting tools! At the Zimmer, we avoid using typical paint brushes because the bristles can come off, posing a danger to wee ones.

Instead, we use silicone pastry brushes. These brushes are safe, easy to clean (and easy for little fingers to grasp), and satisfying to use.

To add a little more excitement to the painting process, we sometimes bring out bouncy balls or invite kids to bring along their favorite toy car; they love seeing the paint bounce and roll across the room.

3. Paint

Of course, we also need paint! We offer two paint options that work for making art with babies and toddlers:

1. Non-toxic washable tempera paint. This school standard paint by Colorations is perfect for the messiest of painters. When it comes time for clean-up, all it takes is a quick pass with some warm water and your child can get back to toddling.
2. Because some kids cannot resist the enjoyment of exploring paint with their mouths, we also offer a fully edible flour-based paint that we make in-house. Best thing about flour paint?  It’s easy to make – check out our edible fingerpaint recipe below.

We then lay out plates filled with inviting puddles of paint.     

Finally, with the room paper-covered, the tools plentiful, and the paint poured, it’s Art Crawling time! It’s so much fun making art with babies and toddlers in an environment with no worries about mess.

Ingredients

• Food coloring
• 2 cups flour
• Boiling water
• Cold water

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

---

Instructions

1. Scoop 2 cups of flour into a big bowl.
2. Add cold water mixed with drops of food coloring and stir until you make a paste with no lumps.
3. Then add freshly boiled water a little at a time and stir until you get the desired consistency.

---

Notes

Note: Flour paint is stickier than tempera so be prepared for a lengthier clean-up.

4. Cleanup

The end result of all this color splash may leave you with paint-splattered children. Fortunately, with water-based paint, clean-up is quite simple.

Fill a couple of plastic mixing tubs with about 3-4 inches of warm water and have your child stand in (or sit beside) the tub while you do a quick pass with water and towel. The paint should wipe off with ease.

Once all guests have departed, clean-up should be as simple as rolling up your paint splattered butcher paper and tossing it out. Keep a portion of your burgeoning Banksy’s work as a memento of baby’s first foray into art.

I hope this Art Crawl tour has gotten you excited for making art with babies and toddlers in your own way! Maybe you even want to plan your own Art Crawl Party?

I guarantee that it will bring smiles to everyone in the room, no matter the age.

PLAY. PLAY. PLAY.

This is one of my favorite things to encourage and facilitate. Both at home, with my sons, and in my classes with little (and not so little) toddlers.  

Play is so important as it offers countless benefits. It is often belittled, and it shouldn’t be, because it is the king and the queen of it all.

Your Majesty Play allows children to be creative while simultaneously developing so many skills such as imagination, coordination and physical, social, cognitive and emotional strength.

So many things happen all at once when a child is engaged in play, in whatever form.  It’s their way of interacting, and processing the world around them.

Play not only promotes healthy child development, it also helps maintain strong bonds with parents as it gives them the opportunity to connect with their children, which is essential to their well-being.

Play is one of the topics that I love reading about the most.

A few of my favorite books that I absolutely adore talk a lot about play. (If you’re curious, especially check out The Importance of Being Little by Erika Christakis. A must-read for sure if you have little’s in your home!)

Safety Disclaimer:

YOU know your baby and toddler best. Some activity ideas might need to wait or need adaptions to work for your children. Keep in mind your child’s tendencies to mouth materials and use the following ideas as inspiration. Always keep a close eye on young children for possible choking hazards. All photos were taken in an art class setting with close parental supervision.

Sensory Play for Babies & Toddlers

1. Water Play

Pair water with anything you have around the house for the easiest of all stations to set up.  By adding a few drops of food coloring can give it that extra secret component that makes it even more inviting.

For example I love setting up a bin with balls of all sizes, and I also recycle all of my bottle caps to then include them in a bin with water. You can always add sifters or large spoons for scooping and transferring.

Simple and a big favorite!

2. Paint

I strongly believe paint is great no matter the age. I have found that sticking a $1 plastic tablecloth to a wall is a great setting to invite a toddler to explore paint. Sometimes it will start with their hands, feet or even their whole body.  Make sure you cover the floor when painting; just to reduce stress levels when it’s clean up time.  

Another fun painting activity is freezing some water in a recipient overnight and then letting them paint the big ice block the next day. So unexpected and fun!

3. Grains

Try oatmeal, black beans, cornmeal, chickpeas; any, really!

Fill a bin with these and throw in some animals or trucks and/or little cups and scoops; anything you think kidswill find interesting. Then sit back and watch kids engage in long play periods of play as they experiment and explore the possibilities.

4. Oobleck

This is a sensory overdose! It’s liquid but at the same time solid. I know! Very weird!

If you haven’t tried oobleck you don’t know what you are missing!  You make it by mixing 1 measure of cornstarch to 2 of water until acquiring the desired consistency. It should stay hard in your hand at first, and then melt between your fingers!

Add food coloring and trucks or animals; maybe even a sifter and some small bowls for lots of play. I must say that while some kids love this material, others don’t. But the only way to find out is to give it try with your own child! Most likely you will be the one hooked (happens to me every time)!

5. Shaving Cream

This is a fun material at any age! Even my big boys love it!

I like to add it to a bin with a small amount of water and some animals or toys. Or trying shaving cream on top of cars to make a “car wash” station when paired with brushes and squeeze bottles with water. 

These are just a few of my favorite invitations to play! We constantly repeat these in our classes with little toddlers because they are always a big hit.

I hope you give all (or some) of these a shot and enjoy them as much as I have!

People Also Ask

1. When should I start art for my baby?

Around 6 months, or when your baby can sit up is a great time to begin to introduce your baby to art!

2. What kind of art can infants do?

Finger painting and sensory play are easy introductions to art for babies.

3. How do you introduce art to a baby?

Start small and with simple materials like finger paints or a ball of playdough. As your baby grows, you can begin to introduce block crayons or tempera paint sticks.

Updated February 2022

My daughter is very little still (16 months), so I’m a beginner in doing art at home with kids. Yet as an artist and art educator this comes naturally to me.

We tend to do more sensory experiences than art sessions at home. But no matter what we do, my daughter uses all her senses to explore the materials. 

She examines materials for sensory play with her hands, feet and mouth. She sometimes even decides to sit in it!

I love to do these activities with her as it allows us to have special time together to connect and get to know each other even more. Sometimes we do family painting sessions which is really lovely to get creative and spend some messy time together.

Activities for Toddlers and Infants

For the first art or sensory experiences, you can basically use anything you find in the kitchen (at least that’s taste safe). This allows babies and little kids to put their hands in all kinds of materials and explore!

You can easily make your own finger paint, moon sand or Oobleck with simple ingredients like flour or yogurt. Add a bit of food coloring and the magic is done.

But if you’re not in the mood to get messy, try using only dry materials like oats or rice. Add some bowls and spoons and your little one will have fun for longer than you expect. Especially when you sit beside them and play along.

If you really want to have fun, add water! Every kid loves water play!

And remember…every child is different. What might be a favorite activity for one child may only hold another child’s interest for five minutes. And that’s okay. 

When & where we do our art experiences

We do our sensory activities whenever we have (or make) time. But always with a full belly and not right before bedtime.  

I usually choose a day when my husband is at home for painting projects. When we’re done he can take care of our little girl while I clean up the artsy mess. I don’t need a little helper to spread the colors across the entire flat, right?  

I find good preparation is half of the success. More preparation before = less stress during and after!

When we paint, I use a drop cloth to cover the floor that will most likely be used as an art space. But don’t think it will just stay on the floor! The little person can suddenly decide, she wants to go vertical and half of your kitchen will end up in bright colors. (That’s why we paint in the kitchen and not in the living room!)

We don’t have a dedicated art space yet, but we do our sensory activities literally everywhere we can. It depends on the activity and weather but the balcony, kitchen, living room are all possibilities.

Even the kitchen cupboards can also be used as an art space! Attach some recycled cardboard or just cover it up with some wrapping paper. 

I love to use our tuff tray for all kinds of sensory activities as it helps to keep materials contained.

Observe your child’s interests

When you observe your child during these activities, you will see what they’re interested in right now. 

I recently noticed that my daughter is actually not so keen on the paint and painting itself; she would rather explore the brushes. She is more into objects.

So, the next time I added some recycled egg cartons and boxes besides the usual paper, and she loved it! She was painting with the brushes and her fingers all over every object. 

Idea gathering

I like to use my Instagram account like a diary of our activities so I can keep track of what we did and when. I also have a list of activities which I want to do with my daughter, so when the right time comes, I have ideas and everything that I need for the activity at home.  

For art experiences and inspiration, I go to my favorite art books. And Instagram or Pinterest are also great sources of inspiration.
