Art for toddlers is a fantastic way for kids to express themselves. It's fun and allows them to tap into their creative side, HOWEVER, it can be very messy! Here are some easy steps to follow to avoid a disaster.
1) Plan Ahead
It's really important to know what you are going to do with them and prepare what you need ahead of time.

2) Set Up Designated Area While Toddlers Are Distracted
I like to distract my toddlers with something else while I set up like morning tea. Otherwise I have too many "helpers". I try to mostly do art/craft outside with drop sheet down.
3) Cater For All Kids
Make sure you have enough equipment for all kids so there is no fighting over brushes/glue sticks etc. set them out in a way each kid can easily access them.
4) Make sure wash cloths are prepared and close by
I like to have my clean up tools - wash cloths/buckets - prepared before we begin and have them easily accessible as you never know when the activity is going to end
5) Keep Low Expectations
In my experience the maximum time with children under 5 is 10 minutes. This however depends on your child. some may last up to 20 minutes but others may struggle to last 5 minutes.
6) Clean Messy Stuff First.
Clean up can often be where things come "unstuck" as some kids may still be trying to create and others are running around with a loaded paint brush. I guess my tips here is remove the things that cause the greatest mess first i.e. the paints/glue then the messy hands then once you have the kids engaged in their next activity you can go back and clean the rest of the stuff.
Enjoy seeing what your little ones come up with!!
