Art time with Ayden: Sponge Painting
Just the other day I shared the benefits of stamping for toddlers. In case you missed it, you may read all about it here. Today, we explore further on stamping with a new paint tool – sponge.
Ayden loves Koi fish so I thought let’s make today’s art activity more interesting by letting him paint his very own koi fish. I did this same art activity with big brother Ethan back in 2012 when he was 5. It is now Ayden’s turn to paint a koi fish
I drew a template for him.
Koi Fish Template
And helped him cut two templates ‘Ying and Yang’ style and numbered them 1 and 2.
Ayden did the rest from here. Watch this video of Ayden sponge painting a koi fish:
It is a pretty simple art activity but the end result is unbelievably beautiful.

I just cut his hair too short so had to give him the cap. Thank goodness you thought he is cute instead :D

Ayden does craft so well. He can align template 2 to the shape of the koi fish from template 1. Fun activity and the result is nice too.

Yes, I guess regular practice does help hence he is able to do this. It is actually very simple but if a kid is unable to align the template, the parent can always give a helping hand :)
