Creating Art while sitting just doesn’t do it in this house.
To get Henry the most involved (and happy while doing it),
I come up with ways to make art that gets him moving as well.The best way to do this?
Make the art big!
The It’s Playtime posts that catch my eye the most are the ones with Big Art!
More specifically, Big Art that uses body movement.
How do you use movement in Art?
Use your entire body to do it, like Pre-School Play shared in her Let’s Get Messy post.
(You’re bound to get messy when you take part in Big Art.)
Or just make it on a larger scale, or use your feet to make the art.

Big art is always enjoyed by the little people in our house. A big roll of butchers paper has been a very wise investment.

Ok, that window painting looks pretty cool. Might just have to give that a try! :)

What a cute idea of doing Big Art? I think it soo much fun for kids and I must say kids loves to become messy most of the time. Thanks for sharing.
