My little grandson was painting at an early age. He loved to watercolor and
for a year old child he did pretty good. He would finger paint and color.
He didn't eat the crayons like his 18 month old sister does. She gets really
excited when you ask her if she wants to color. At the beach this summer she
put miles on the crayons, she would carry them from place to place to place.
Let these babies experience all the areas possible. Tear and glue, finger
paint, play dough...They need to be watched but they love it and learn so
much. I let my children have scissors as soon as they could hold them. My
older daughter cut for 3 days after she learned to cut at three. We were in
Ohio and it was snowing outside and it kept her entertained. So many of
these kids come to us and have never worked with anything because parents are
afraid they are going to get dirty.
