Inside: Add some bug painting to your toddlers’ day with this fun process art activity! When finished, let the bug tracks dry. Little prep is involved because it’s all about the process. Simply put the few materials on the table and invite your toddlers to start painting. Even our busiest little friends stopped awhile for this engaging art!
