Painting opens up a world of colour and communication for children and is a wonderful way for them to create. There are many simple and exciting alternatives to using a paint brush.
String painting is easy and is a great way for children to pattern paint. You just wrap some string around a small wooden block (this could be a building block that your children play with). A square or rectangle shape is better, but make sure that it is big enough for the child to hold easily. To aid in your child's learning, it is best to have a variety of different sizes handy. Prepare some paint and pour it into some old polystyrene trays or any tray that you can afford to use for lots of painting activities. Dip the block into the paint and press on the paper and you're done!

My kids love to paint. You can also use a potato to stamp paint or apples. You can also use marbles. Put the marbles in the paint then,place the paper in a small box. Place a few different colored marbles in the box and tip it back and forth to make the marbles roll. It is alot of fun. My kids love doing this.
