Tummy time paintings - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Sensory play, art and tummy time/clean finger paint time rolled into one.

Material

Different colours of paints
Thick paper of any colour (Thicker the better to prevent ripping)
Large zip lock bags to place paper in

Method

Place the paper into the Zip lock bag
Add blobs of paint onto the page and zip up the bag
Pop on the floor with bub and to squish around the paint while having tummy time or for toddlers as clean finger paint time
Take the page out of the zip lock bag and let dry

Notes

I love doing this with my son who is 6 months old, he loves to squish the paint around with his hands and mix all of the colours together. Add in some glitter paints for a bit of sparkle

Kids really benefit from sensory play. Tummy time will be encouraged with this one

We tried this with my son who hated tummy time. He was more interested in trying to bite the bag. Lol!

Love messy play, but not the clean up, so this is perfect!

What a great idea and by using the zip lock bags there won’t be much cleaning up to do which is always a bonus

Nah …..just make a mess. It’s so much more fun. You can buy lots of washable and non toxic paints.
I used give my kids shaving cream to ‘paint’ with. The shower screen was the best place for this as the soap would wash right off
