Finger Painting

Paromita Pramanick

Children of all ages love to paint. The painting activity for kids ranges from the simplest painting with a brush or using their own hands. In every childhood education, especially for the preschooler's finger painting is often the very first painting experience children will encounter. Finger painting has many developmental, educational and creative benefits. It is the most Super simple activity for your kids and for all the age groups eventually.

There are many benefits of finger painting for the toddlers and preschoolers aged between 2 to 5 years. Finger painting helps with the child’s fine motor skill development. This activity is a wonderful experience for all the age groups, especially children of all ages. Of course it is quite a bit of messy art activity, however, this activity is sure an exploring adventure for all the kids out there. Children will enjoy doing this activity as and when they dip their fingers in the beautiful colors and slowly when they start to make the patterns with the colors. This activity increases the sensory experiences by seeing and touching the colors, during the growth period of the child it also enhances the observation power as and when they learn different colors and also remember them very well because they felt the colors while they were learning or memorizing the name of the colors.

This finger painting activity is basically done with all the five fingers of our hand and in some cases, we also encourage the children to use both of their hands as it helps the child to broaden their learning process and also they will enjoy doing the painting while they are learning.

A Bouquet:
I have used only the index finger for this particular finger painting, this is a simple basic finger painting of ‘A Bouquet’. This kind of finger painting activity is generally done in the preschools where children are often restricted to follow few disciplines while doing their activity. It is because school is a place where we teach children along with fun, frolic, discipline, adventure, cleanliness, love and care. And of course our parents are also concerned about their child’s health and dress too, so, therefore, we don’t give a lofty activity to the children where they may mess around with all over their body. We usually cover the child with an apron before the start of the activity and also after finishing the activity the children wash their hands properly. Hence this painting is the safest and cleanliest finger painting activity I must assume. Build your child sharpness and concentration with the help of this activity at the centre of your own room without creating any mess around.
