Autumn Tree Dish-Brush Painting

Autumn Tree Dish-Brush Painting Toddler Friendly craft

Painting an autumn tree with a dish-brush is a fun craft for babies and toddlers to develop fine motor control and dexterity while exploring creativity.

Baby and toddler arts and crafts are a fun way to develop motor skills, increase dexterity, and improve hand-eye coordination. Besides, your little artist is boosting self-esteem and building confidence through creative expression! And since autumn foliage is the most beautiful sight, in my opinion, offer your child a small dish-brush to paint an AUTUMN TREE. Moreover, this is a hands-on way to discuss the change of seasons and all the breathtaking colors of the Fall! Alternatively, if you live in an area with no seasonal change, you can bring Seasons to life with this super fun craft! Most importantly, messy not so messy form of art is a creative, educational, and FUN way to promote innovation, encourage self-expression, and enhance decision-making skills.

BABY TODDLER ART CRAFT

Messy ARTS and CRAFTS using a brush, sponge, or finger painting are very important for early childhood development since they help the body and brain to integrate tactile information in a creative way. Process art is perfect for little artists since the focus lies in the creation of the work, not the outcome! During this fun artistic process, your child learns how colors work, especially color mixing, while developing spatial awareness and sensory integration. And it’s FUN!!!

I hope you enjoyed this easy AUTUMN TREE DISH-BRUSH PAINTING. Find below SEASONAL Trees we did with the same print out using a finger paint technique.
