Baby T has been doing dot art since she was 14 months and could have started earlier... like when she could start feeding herself. Which brings me to the point that Baby T being Baby T likes to taste the paint. It is non toxic so not the end of the world and I personally think it is natural, especially since for some reason the company decided to make the dabbers smell like stuff (!?) it never smells the anything real but it does smell sweet and candy like so why wouldn't a baby/ kid not try it???
So there you go Bingo dabbers are not only for the seniors! Give it a shot they are addictive & fun!
Math: pattern, spacial awareness - this might all be passive and unintentional but it is the beginnings!
Language: we talk a fair bit about what she is doing, adding words and giving meaning to them.
Gross motor: this particular art does focus on some gross motor with large arm movements
Where did you pick these up from? And from now on can you shop for me and you whenever you buy anything? lol- I love this idea. Thought I painted with AD today and he was super clean and controlled!! Such a huge change in a few short months.
ReplyDeleteI think I found them at Michaels?? You can get ones from the dollar store but I am not sure if they are non toxic -I personally don't trust much from the dollar store. AD might get messy again but this maybe his thing... I would suggest doing a few 'messy' activities like finger painting with him to ensure he still embraces the mess which really is fun and creates freedom in ones creativity!
