Toddler Play – Finger Painting

My son thrives on activities so I always find ways to keep him busy. This is a great sensory and Math activity for toddlers. We started this activity when he was 9 months. If your child likes putting things in his mouth, skip this activity.

I got this pack of finger paints and sponges at a local shop along with the food separator. The orange paper is from the bookstore.



I put just a small amount of paint in each section and then showed my son what to do.



Then he got busy. He decided that he liked to use his fingers better.



He was at it for around 15 minutes. After that, it’s shower time for him as the paint was on his legs, cheeks, shirt and arms.
