Happy Holidays everyone!
We've made some art today, besides doing absolutely nothing! :xD What about you?
This activity is just perfect for these days. It's fun and easy to make and it's that kind of activity where everyone can participate and do their own art work. It's family time!

Also, painting is great for toddlers. Its a sensory activity that develops creativity, imagination, fine motor skills, concentration and atention, dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
This is basically the reason why we're doing all kind of arts, crafts and activities. That's how the little ones learn, through play and doing easy and fun activities!
Finger painting and hand painting are also fun and very loved by the little ones.
You just need some acrylic paint and a paper cup.
As you can see below, we've made two different Christmas trees.
🎄 Handprint Christmas Tree
For the first one, it's so obvious! We've made a tree out of hand prints and then we used finger painting as a techinique to make the Christmas spheres.

And for the second one, we've used the paper cup to create circles.
You need acrylic paint. Green color for the tree and other colors for the Christmas balls (spheres).
First I did was to draw the outline of a tree with a regular crayon, this way the kiddo could see that there's a certain area where he needs to make the circles.
After that, using his tiny fingers, he did the colored spheres.
So, what do you think? Did you like our activity? To be honest, I enjoyed it too and I LOVED this time spent together, as a family!
And btw, you can use these to give it to your family members. It doesn't have to be a bough fancy card! I think everyone will love these as Handmade Christmas Cards.
Have a wonderful time ahead and Wish you a Merry Christmas!
hohoho 🎅🏽
