Art Ideas to Make with Your Baby
Try your hand at these fun and quick ideas and start making with your little one. They're great exploratory activities that will be enjoyable for parents and babies alike.
The best way to get your little one involved is to get stuck in with them! You can do the pieces collaboratively or you can each have your own canvas – so often your baby will relish in contributing to yours too!
These pieces are made directly onto canvases so you can easily display them and keep them for years to come.

How to make
This sensory art piece is a great way for your baby to play with textures and it gives the most beautiful results! If you're not keen on mess then this is the technique for you as all the paint is kept safely in a zip lock bag.
Canvas
Masking tape
Paint
An A4 zip lock bag, or you could use a plastic sleeve and tape the opening shut.
Take the canvas out of the zip-lock bag, peel the masking tape off of the back if it's gotten messy, if not just leave. Then leave to dry. Display your artwork!
The paint sticks used to make this art piece are wonderfully soft and great fun for your little one to use. They don't require much pressure for really bright mark making, dry in minutes and are relatively mess free!

A Sponge
This is a fantastic first art project to do with your baby - you can use any paint you have to hand, and your baby can smoosh on the paint in whatever way works best for them. Here I've used a chunky paintbrush, but if you don't mind the mess, they could use their hands, sponges, or any other implement.

Paint
Painting and printing with toys will entice even the most reluctant little artist to get stuck in with the making! Anything that you don't mind getting messy and that can be cleaned easily is perfect for this, blocks, toy cars, or even the feet of toy dolls or animals. The joy is in the exploring with this, seeing which toys make which marks on the canvas, and just having fun with your baby in the process.

A selection of toys to paint with
Pour some paint onto a plate or shallow dish, then get your baby to dip and then print with the painty toy onto the canvas.
Encourage your baby to use all the different toys and experiment with dipping into all the colours. When you feel that the canvas if full enough then leave to dry and display.
