Remember to include a few larger paint trays to accommodate any bigger diggers or trucks that kids always seem to enjoy. Gather paper plates, cake pans, trays, pizza pans and baking sheets to add paint onto. The kids then moved to a 20 foot runway with lots of space to make tracks. Brayers or foam painting rollers are also fun instruments for painting on paper! If you decide to work indoors, you may wish to tape kraft or white butcher paper to a kid-sized table or roll a big piece of a paper out on the floor. I got a little carried away and created wood ramps, cardboard parking garages and tunnels with items from our recycling bin. This project can be set up inside or outside! At our recent toddler art group I laid out two painted drop cloths and placed cardboard on top. your favorite cars, trucks, diggers, and trainsįirst, gather anything with wheels (paint rollers work great too!).The setup is easy and did I mention, it’s fun – even for adults like me! Painting with Wheels If you haven’t tried this yet, it’s the perfect project for young toddlers who may be especially interested in trains, trucks, cars, and the like! This encourages an environment for the child to think creatively about their art and by extension their world. Painting with a car (instead of a brush) begins to prompt the question of “what else can we paint with?” Here at The Artful Parent, Jean started blogging about it years back with her toddler art groups and it’s still going strong as we bring you a fully updated version for the blog today.Īs kids roll a vehicle in paint and then again onto paper/cardboard to print the tracks, they gaining a valuable experience through this experimentation. Painting with wheels is a classic action art activity for kids of all ages. So get some paint and watch as a car, digger, train (you name it!) creates colorful tracks. It’s great for toddlers (and big kids too!) to explore painting in a new way. Painting with wheels is a favorite action art activity here at The Artful Parent.
