Tips for doing art with Little Ones
• Strip children down before you start, or have an outfit that is their ‘art outfit’.
• Allow them to experiment with materials.
• Bring out one material at a time.
• You can often use surprisingly simple materials to work with.
• Never leave Little Ones alone with art materials!
What art materials will I need at home?
The cards include suggestions on how to set up your art space at home, what materials are good to have in reach of younger children, and which ones are good to keep in a cupboard!
Each project includes a suggested list of materials – these range from water-colours to chalks, from markers to pencils. The projects are also open-ended and you can swap in different materials depending on what you have at home.
