There are a few options for this art experience, divided by age .
-
Set the construction paper down in the middle of the splat mat then:
-
6 months+ : use finger paints .
-
Place some paint on top of a seashell and help your child to rub the paint on it with their fingers
-
-
10 months+ : use fingerpaints
-
Place a blob of paint on the paper and help your child to press the seashell into it. Point out the designs the seashells form.
-
-
14 months + : use non-toxic squeeze glue
-
Squeeze glue onto a piece of paper and help your child to spread it around (a popsicle stick works great). Help your child to press the seashells onto the glue.

*You could also right their name in glue and stick the seashells onto it!
