Toddler Crafts | Four Seasons Toddler Finger-Painting

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 integrate tactile information creatively. Process art is perfect for little artists since the focus lies in creating 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 a creative, fun, and artistic exploration!

You’ll Need for Four Seasons Toddler Finger-Painting


Instructions

First, download and print the Seasons Trees PDF. Cut along the dotted lines. Offer your child to arrange the seasonal cards in a circle, emphasizing no beginning or end but rather a continuous cycle. 

Next, ask your child to pick a color to associate with each season. Depending on your environment, you might witness and associate different colors. Or, if you live in a temperate climate and do not witness a lot of seasonal change, read books featuring the four seasons. After discussing the seasons, offer your child to choose paints accordingly to use for each season.

Finally, invite your child to finger-paint each tree, representing a particular season. 


The Four Seasons

Chilly ❄️ Winter:

The world turns white, and the trees lose their leaves. Time for some frosty blues and whites to create delicate snow-covered branches.

Vivid 🌸 Spring:

Spring is the season of blossoming flowers and chirping birds. So, offer to dip a finger into those lively pinks (or colors of your choice)! Tap, tap, tap to create a beautiful blooming tree.

Lush 🌳 Summer:

In the summer, the sun is shining bright, and it’s time to bring out the vibrant greens to create lush green foliage!

Awesome 🍁 Autumn:

In autumn, the leaves turn various shades of red, orange, and gold. Offer a little artist to dip a finger in these autumnal hues and dab-dab-dab away on the paper. Watch as the trees transform into an explosion of fall colors! Don’t forget to add a few leaves falling gracefully to the ground.

Let your imagination run wild; there are no limits to your artistic prowess!

  3. It strengthens fine motor control by exercising small muscles of the hands. 
  4. Sensory play spurs creative exploration.
  5. It promotes language development.
  6. Finally, sensory play increases focus and attention.
