1. Leaf Stamp Art
For this activity we collected some fall leaves. This is a perfect activity for kids while they get some sunshine. Don’t collect too dried leaves as they will break while Painting.
Then added some paint on the leaf and stamped it on the paper.
This Easy Peasy activity is fun to do by toddlers. Older kids can try different placements and make it even more artistic.
2. Leafy Spray Painting
Use the leaves to cover the entire paper. Spray some color with the help of an old toothbrush or a spray bottle.
Remove the leaves and the art is done!
3. Stone Painting
Like leaves, stones too can attract your child’s attention. Paint the stone or use it as a template.
4. Flower Art
Flowers are the prettiest things and are just loved by kids. Don’t encourage plucking of flowers instead ask them to collect the ones that have already fallen down. We could find this small little flower. So clubbed it with leaves and stamped by my toddler.
5. Pine Cone Painting
After exploring flowers, leaves, twigs and stones, it’s time to explore some pine cones. Unfortunately we stay in a hot climate zone so pine cones are hard to find.
In case pine cones are readily available to you, do give Pine Cone Art by A nation of Moms a try!
Your can also try using sea shells, twigs, feathers, corals etc.
6. Twig Paint Brush Technique
We will be needing some longer twigs. Go green and use it as a paint brush.
7. Plastic bottle recycle art
Create a plastic bottle bird feeder or create plastic bottle flowers. Paint it up.
8. Cardboard Canvas Painting
Reuse the cardboard box. It can be a new canvas for your little one.
Note: As per the Covid-19 guidelines, leave the box out of reach of kids for at least 72 hours to ensure safety.

Step 3: Ask your toddler to crush it into bits and pieces and stick it onto a paper.

While doing this activity keep talking to your child about where does the egg come from. What are the benefits of eating eggs. etc.
