STEP THREE : Choose the Materials .
Again , this is going to be largely dependent upon your child ’ s interests , but don ’ t forget to provide materials that give them the opportunity to grow and discover new things . If your child loves to paint , you ’ d obviously fill the space with more painting materials , but if your child only has access to that , they may never discover another passion , like sculpting . Perhaps your child isn ’ t into art so much as science , so giving them a creative science lab may spark their imagination ! Or maybe they ’ d prefer a music studio or a builder ’ s workshop ! Cater the space to suit your kiddo . For a standard art space , consider adding blank paper , construction paper , crayons , markers , pencils , erasers , glue , scissors , felt pieces , buttons , paint , brushes , playdough , clay , pipe cleaners , pompoms , googly eyes , socks , yarn , and stickers . Also think about adding recyclables such as cardboard boxes , paper tubes , milk jugs , egg cartons , and plastic lids .
STEP FOUR : Make room for a display area so that your child can show off their work !
You might consider designated shelves to display sculptures and crafts , a gallery wall or string line for paintings and drawings , etc . Children love to see their work proudly displayed , and this will encourage them to keep creating !
It ’ s important to keep the space fresh , lively , and fun . Join them often in their creativity ! This is a wonderful way to bond with your child and strengthen your relationship . In addition , being creative is good for your mental health , and can become part of your own self-care routine . What a lovely way to create beautiful memories that your child will carry with them for a lifetime . •
