From Little Fingers Come Small Masterpieces

No brushes required!

Armed with paint, paper, and their own five fingers, the toddlers spent some time exploring color at Sophie’s Creche.

Sophie explains, that finger painting isn’t only an art activity. As the children dip, dab, swirl and spread the paint, they are also practicing the small hand and finger movements that help develop their fine-motor skills—skills they’ll eventually use for drawing, writing, buttoning clothes and many other every day tasks.

According to Sophie, “the little ones loved it so much!”

Sometimes the best learning happens when children don’t even realize they’re learning.
