Learning with dad - a smart start to life, part 6

This week we are focusing on a very simple activity you can do with your kids - finger painting. But did you know that it helps children fully develop motor skills - all the way from the shoulders to the fingers. And yes ... it can be quite messy but many of the finger paints on the market these days wash out easily and are basically food safe. You can make your (cleaning) life easier by putting old newspapers on the floor and table where you do the finger painting with your children. Another cool alternative to ordinary finger paint is to use painting soap (read our article about painting soap).

Enjoy,

For more exercises like these check out Margaret Sasse's book "Smart Start". It's definitely a good investment of 30 bucks and you can buy the book in most bookstores or online at Exisle Publishing.
