Messy play is kind of our thing around here, as you probably know. But today, we are bringing you a low mess activity for those days when you need a no-mess and go-to art project for the little ones! (If you want something a little more messy check out our shaving cream earth day craft)

In this art project for little ones, we'll be exploring the attention-grabbing dot painting technique. This method consists of make or filling up shapes with dots. 

Dot painting can be as messy or as neat as you want it to be. There are tons of examples in famous works of art that showcase all the different and creative ways artists have used this technique in their creations.

Depending on the dots' size and how you arrange them in your canvas or design, your artwork's entire vibe can change!

From tiny little dots to huge circles and everything in between, the dot technique is fun and interactive. Little ones can enjoy making art, explore different ways to express their creativity, and have a wonderful fun time!
