PAINTING HEARTS ON SNOW

Valentine's Day art activity for toddlers

It's a great time to experimenting with mittens and show why we use them.

I love how that child went to get her hat for the activity.

Supplies:

- Sensory table or trays or large and shallow containers

- Snow

- Heart shape cookie cutters

- Watercolor or food coloring in water

- Small cups

- Paint brushes

- Smocks

- Mittens (optional)

- Rags for clean up

I don't clean up by myself while the kids are running because the floor is wet and slippery. I give them two rags and demonstrate how to wipe with our feet.
