Playing is fun and learning can be too!

Dot Paints and Coffee Filters! AGES 2+

Age 2+, Age 3+, Age 4+, Age 5+, Art, Colors and Shapes, Gross Motors

This is a fun art activity. Using dot paints is also good for gross motor development. This is a good activity to introduce how to use dot paints so we don’t ripe the felt tips. Once they are dry you can hang them near a window. They make great Suncatchers!

Dot Paints

Before we painted we talked about how to use the dot paints. I handed each child a dot paint and asked if they could unscrew the top and put it back on until it’s tight. Then we were ready to paint!

I believe that PLAY is a huge part of children’s learning and development. Children should be active and involved in their learning. Children learn best by doing. My goal is for children to develop a love for learning while having fun!
