Looking for some super fun painting activities for toddlers? These creative options are certain to provide hours of creative play!


Looking for some fun and interesting painting activities for toddlers? You’ll love these messy play artwork options, and so will they!  Trying to think of crafts for 1 year olds can prove to be a bit challenging, but remember, it’s about the process, and not the end result.

Even though you might not like the idea of messy play, it’s really, really great for your little ones to do! It helps to teach them motor skills as well as starting the process of learning how to think creatively. 

Plus, these painting activities are actually pretty neat. You *might* find yourself trying to sneak in one or two yourself! (just to make certain it’s safe for the kids, right?!) 

If you like these fun painting activities, you might also like this Sensory Stomp Painting with Bubble Wrap activity as well!

  • Lay down a lot of newspaper or plastic and have them paint in that area
  • Use an old bedsheet and spread it out on the floor to have them paint on that to contain the mess

See how simple it can be?

Have fun with these fun painting activities for your toddler! They are certain to love having the creative freedom to create their own beautiful works of art!
