My toddlers have been obsessed with farm books this year. Have you found that to happen with your little ones? They get so hooked on one type of book that they want you to read it over and over again? And it’s not just farm books. Finger plays and songs, too! So, I came up with what I had hoped would be a fun sensory art activity. Muddy pigs. I was inspired by my no-mess pumpkin art that is going crazy right now. I decided to try a similar method, this time using a pig printable (provided for you at the end of this post), paint, and shaving cream. Huge hit! Click here to pin. I am always looking for activities that expose our toddlers to different textures. Even better if it gets their little fingers moving. I had already introduced them to pressing tissue paper squares on sticky paper.
I had one plastic bag for each child, ready to go with names on the bags.
I sealed each bag after adding the paint and shaving cream.
Those little hands were so busy! They just kept on patting the tops of their bags until they decided they were finished and wanted to move on to something else.
I then rinsed out each bag so that it could be used for another project. Why add to the waste if we can reuse them? (And I already have another activity in mind using the same bags. My mind never stops, I tell you!)
