Using the 3 pronged/tined fork  we pressed firmly into the paint while making sure both the prongs and the base get paint.

While printing she made sure to print using a 2 step motion. First to get the tines of the fork printed, then she got the base printed to complete the tulip.

Once we printed using our forks, we drew the stems and leaves using green acrylic paint.

My toddler on the other hand is not very focused on the design or the pattern element of the spring art activity. Well yeah she is 2. For her the fun was to simply print using different colors. As you can see only the prongs got the paint and hence the prints. But that’s her spring art! It’s always best to keep the art project as open ended as possible when playing with younger kids. My preschooler  however starts any art activity with the ” What design are we making?” So it’s different with her.

I love my toddler’s unique and original open ended art work. She enjoyed every bit of the process.
