Is Watching TV Damaging to Your Toddler?
This is a great way to let your toddler be creative with paint. Cut yarn in 12-14 inch strings. Dip the yarn in paint (pour a bit of paint in a container) Fold a piece of paper in half. Open the paper and place the paint soaked yarn string in the middle of the paper, holding one end of the yarn. Fold the paper in half and let your toddler pull the string of yarn through the paper. Open up the paper and see the fun design. Repeat as many times as the toddler wants to. Talk about the designs and color mixtures.
