Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Square Painting with Bright Colors

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

• Square canvas or thick paper
• Bright colored paints (washable if possible)

Step 3: Choose Colors

Let your child pick their favorite bright colors. Ask them to think about how these colors make them feel and why they like them.

Step 4: Start Painting

Encourage your child to paint freely on the square canvas. They can use different tools like brushes or sponges to create patterns and designs. Remind them that there are no wrong ways to paint.

Step 5: Add Details

As they paint, they can add shapes or even use their finger to create fun designs. This is a great opportunity to talk about the shapes they’re making.
