One of Many ways you can get your toddler to be CREATIVE…

We had so much fun making crayon cakes and I had so much fun giving them as GIFTS. Thanks for so many bloggers who posted the tutorial if any of you want it please visit thesleepytimegal.com she had a wonderful tutorial on this.

However I want to emphasize on one of many ways you can use these crayons so your little one could be the future Picasso…

I simply use raw paper (it works great on these) and paste it on the kitchen floor. It works GREAT I can still make sure I am getting dinner ready while helping her to stretch her imagination with crayons.

The beauty of these crayon cakes are they are super easy to handle for young kids as young as 4-5 months this fits perfectly well on their open palm grasp and all you need to make sure is your paper is tape to whatever the surface you decide to use. I go for the kitchen floor.

Other lesson that goes hand in hand with this one on one coloring is setting boundaries as young as 4-5 months how. When your little one decide to mouth the crayon cakes you can take them away and offer it again the next day if it goes to mouth again it goes away again eventually they will understand the concept. You may see some tears at the beginning but in the long run it is fully worth the effort you invest on this because you were able to teach setting boundaries, developing, refining, grasping, and introducing ART…

I am sure you may have your own challengers but one way or another doesn’t we all have our own challengers…
