They say that all children love to draw, but if your baby looks multi-colored pencils and felt-tip pens does not arouse enthusiasm, congratulations, most likely your creative and creative person, which does not look for simple paths in art.
Especially for those who are bored with drawing in the usual way, we offer several exciting techniques creative development: create a masterpiece using fingers, sponges and rollers.
Finger painting
This method of creative self-expression is most often close to children, but for parents, such children’s “impulses” sometimes cause concern, due to the fact that after them it takes much longer to wash the child and the apartment.
We know how to organize everything and make finger painting enjoyable for both adults and children. The most important rule is that the child must be allocated creative space , for whose condition parents will not worry.
If your child draws at the table, cover it with oilcloth, newspapers or old wallpaper so as not to worry if drops of paint get on the tabletop. It is better if the table at which the child paints is not on the carpet, but on tiles or linoleum - such a surface is much easier to clean, fallen drops of paint can simply be wiped off with a wet cloth, but a stained carpet will have to be cleaned more thoroughly.
Don’t forget that it’s better to dress your child in clothes that you won’t mind if the baby gets dirty. Also, special aprons are perfect for such creativity lessons, which come in several types: with sleeves, without them, and with special sleeves.
Is the artist's space ready? Then get out the paints ! Finger paints are offered by many well-known brands and manufacturing companies, for example, Crayola and SES, Tsvetik, Gamma, Malysh. Certified finger paints are safe for children , they are environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic, their composition is water-based using natural food dyes.

However, if you want to purchase an art set from a previously unknown company, do not forget about the simple safety rules : carefully read the information on the box, check the expiration date and instructions for use. Try not to buy paints of unnatural acid colors; trusted manufacturers do not use such colors in their products, red, yellow, green and blue colors - favorites among finger paints. If possible, open the paint; it should have a uniform consistency and not smell too strong. It is more economical to buy paints in jars or tubes, so you can lay out the required amount of paints on the surface for painting for the little artist.
Now put your finger in a jar of paint and start creating! The colors mix easily, so in masterpieces young artist there will be no shortage of color scheme. You can draw not only, but also with your entire palm and even with your feet.
What space for creativity opens up here! Not only young, but also absolutely adult artists cannot resist and begin to create amazing heroes. For example, look at these cute animals and birds, insects and butterflies. By using fingerprints It’s easy to draw familiar fruits and vegetables, vehicles, and you can come up with a variety of people without any restrictions.
Developmental task for adults - To participate in creative process and make children’s “scribbles”: a horse, a lemon, pizza, scrambled eggs, a cat. Too easy? Let’s complicate the task: first, the adult draws the outline, and the child, using finger paints, makes it the way he sees it in his imagination. And here you can’t argue if the sun is green and the water in the lake is reddish-pink - that’s the solution little artist.

No less nice drawings can be obtained if you make prints palm or leg - the main thing is to use your imagination and think in advance about what exactly you want to see on a piece of paper. Therefore, first, before getting dirty with paint, invite your child to play the game “what does it look like,” choose the cutest image, and then start painting it.

To develop imagination and artistic creativity It is important that the child is familiar with a variety of visual materials and means. Foam sponge- an excellent product for children drawing. Sponge any housewife can find it.
Drawing with a foam sponge accessible even to children, as it allows you to quickly obtain an image using broad strokes. Wish small child paint brightly easy to implement when using foam rubber.

By alternating 2-3 figures, younger preschoolers can print cute patterns on clothes (sundress, scarf, tablecloth, towels for dolls, on cards and invitations to children's parties, or create a composition (diamond - leaf or fish, circle - petal).

Dip sponges into paint and paint with them, pressing them to the paper like a brush;
Absorb as much paint as possible with a sponge, and then “stamp” figures on a piece of paper with it;
Pour some paint onto the paper and smear it with sponges;
Draw not only on paper, but also on your own body;
Combine different techniques - for example, apply different “stamps” with sponges, and finish the rest with brushes or fingers.
Benefits of sponge painting:
Self-expression and development of creative abilities;
Development of eye-hand coordination;
Development of fine motor skills;
Encouragement for experimentation and out-of-the-box thinking;
Development of taste and sense of color;
Teaching shapes, colors, letters, etc.
Helpful advice:
To make cleaning up after this activity easier, I recommend giving each child a rag to wipe their hands on as needed. I also advise you to cover the area (table or floor) on which the children will draw with an oilcloth tablecloth or newspapers, and either undress the children as much as possible or put special robes on them.

All children love to draw. But sometimes things don’t turn out the way you want for a child. Or maybe he doesn’t have enough familiar ways to express himself? Then you can inspire him to experiment with different techniques, among which there is sure to be a favorite. After this, your child will probably want to invent something new.
website I have collected the most interesting techniques for you.
Dot patterns
First we draw the simplest squiggle. Then using cotton swab and paints (gouache or acrylic) we make intricate patterns as the soul pleases. It is better to pre-mix the paints and dilute them slightly with water on the palette.
Frottage
A technique familiar and loved by many since childhood. We place an object with a slightly protruding relief under a sheet of paper and paint over it with pastel, chalk or an unsharpened pencil.
Foam prints
Having dipped a sponge in thick gouache, the child can draw landscapes, bouquets of flowers, lilac branches or animals.
Blotography
One option: drop paint onto a sheet and tilt it in different directions to create an image. Second: the child dips the brush into the paint, then places the blot on a sheet of paper and folds the sheet in half so that the blot is imprinted on the second half of the sheet. Then he unfolds the sheet and tries to understand who or what the drawing resembles.
Hand and foot prints
It's simple: you need to dip your foot or palm in the paint and make an imprint on paper. And then use your imagination and add a couple of details.
Paint patterns
For such an application you need to apply a thick layer of paint onto the paper. Then, using the opposite end of the brush, scratch patterns on the still wet paint - various lines and curls. When dry, cut out the desired shapes and paste them onto a thick sheet of paper.
Fingerprints
The name speaks for itself. You need to paint your finger with a thin layer and make an imprint. A couple of strokes with a felt-tip pen - and you're done!
Monotype
A design is applied to a flat, smooth surface (for example, glass) with paint. Then a sheet of paper is applied, and the print is ready. To make it more blurry, the sheet of paper must first be wetted. Once everything is dry, you can add details and outlines if desired.
Scratch
The highlight of the work is that the drawing needs to be scratched. A sheet of cardboard is densely shaded with spots of multi-colored oil pastel. Then you need to mix black gouache with soap on a palette and paint over the entire sketch. When the paint is completely dry, use a toothpick to scratch the design.
Air colors
To make the paint, mix a tablespoon of self-raising flour, a few drops of food coloring and a tablespoon of salt. Add a little water to the consistency of thick sour cream and mix well. The paint can be placed in a pastry syringe or in a small bag. Tie tightly and cut the corner. We draw on paper or regular cardboard. Place the finished drawing in the microwave at maximum mode for 10-30 seconds.
Marbled paper
Paint a sheet of paper yellow acrylic paint. When it is completely dry, paint it again with diluted pink paint and immediately cover it cling film. The film needs to be crumpled and gathered into folds, since they are the ones that will create the desired pattern. We wait until it dries completely and remove the film.
Painting with water
We draw with watercolors a simple figure and fill it with water. Until it dries, we put colored blots on it so that they mix with each other and form smooth transitions like this.
Prints of vegetables and fruits
Vegetables or fruits need to be cut in half. Then you can cut out some kind of pattern on it or leave it as is. We dip it in paint and make impressions on paper. You can use an apple, potato, carrot or celery for prints.
Leaf prints
The principle is the same. We smear the leaves with paint and make prints on paper.
