Welcome to Boost Your Blog in 100 Days! I’m so excited you have chosen to take this journey with me and my dear challenge hostesses! I hope to get to meet you a little bit along the way via facebook, twitter, pinterest, and your blogs. My goal for this 100 days is to spruce up our blogs together and kick our usage and understanding of Social Media into high gear.

One more day! One more day! Say it with me will you! One more day! Can you believe you have already made it through 8 days of commenting? Not as hard as your thought, right? Keep up the good work and you are sure to be rewarded. What’s the hardest thing you’ve found about blogging? I think finding the time to blog is hard with four children ages 6 months to 11 years and homeschooling.

Thinking of taking up running or eating healthier after ready the organic or runner blogs? How about those great deal, giveaway or review blogs? Not your thing, no big deal-hahaha. Sorry I crack myself up. I love all the variety within similar categories. Each blogger has her own voice and experience that she brings to her blog. WONDERFUL I say!

Introduce Art at an Early Age

By 6 Comments

I have to admit that my hubby has thought I was crazy to allow our children to experience art so young. Yes, it might be a little crazy to allow a 6 month old the opportunity to paint but I think it’s a good idea. Maybe it’s the Preschool Teacher in me but I’ve allowed all of our children this experience. It is almost Baby C-4’s turn! As soon as my baby’s can hold themselves in a sitting upright position I allow them to paint!

Unfortunately I was unable to find picture proof of all of their earliest art experiences of the oldest three, but did find Eldest’s. I searched high and low through multiple Cd’s of pictures to no avail. I provided Eldest with some washable finger paint right on his tray. This way he was strapped securely in his seat so I could help ensure his safety and easily to clean up.

I will share with you another art experience I did find of both Eldest and Princess. These pictures were taken when Eldest was 4 years old and Princess was 2 1/2 years old. They are painting picture frame mats for Mother’s day I think.

Why Art at an Early Age?

Well, first of all childhood should be all about PLAY and exploration. Children who are given more experiences will be ahead of the crowd in a lot of areas of growth and development. Art helps with color exploration and fine motor control. Eldest has a great pencil grasp on his paint brush and loved mixing colors.

Princess has a deep concentrated expression on her face while she figures out how to open the bottle of paint. She has to concentrate on squeezing just the right amount of paint into the palette.

Looking through these old pictures makes me realize how much MORE art we need to do. I have had Lil’ Red draw things before. Just the other day he wanted to play Minecraft  to update his “world”, but I asked him to draw the things he wanted to change FIRST! He did do a wonderful job drawing and then narrating what he drew.
