Water Painting 💦 ages 1-3 💦 Here’s a virtually mess-free painting activity that my 1 1/2 year old LOVED! We used a sprig of evergreen as a paintbrush and applied water to colored construction paper. Such a great activity for developing fine motor skills and pincer grasp. He was so proud of himself and the best part was that the paper dried in a couple hours and we painted them all over again! 😀👍🏻
