Art: Spring Toddler Popcorn Picture

Remember the process of any art project with a  toddler is not the end results, though it may be beautiful, it is the path to it.  Using their little fingers, creativity, coordination is what we are focusing on.  PLUS HAVING FUN!

 

Materials:

Construction Paper (Spring colors:  Blue, Green, White, Pink etc.)

Made Popcorn (Optional: Colored)

Glue

Spring Color Paint

Glitter

 

Let the fun begin!

 

Mandis really loved the Glitter opportunity because I usually don't let her mess with the stuff if I can't be around.

I made her prepare all of her materials so she can also work on steps and instructions. 

Did I mention how great this is for their fine motor skills? Look at her little fingers working hard to get the glue out!

You can also color the glue with food colors to do pastel colors. Makes great spring colors.

 

Try having your toddler count the popcorn (we are working with 17 so we had 16 and I asked her how many more did we need to make 17.

You can put glitter on the popcorn by putting the popcorn in a paper bag with the glitter. Makes for a very pretty scene.

 

Hope you had fun with this simple but yet effective Spring Popcorn Art.
