Here’s a great computer activity for your toddler to become familiar with colors and using the mouse. Go to the site below and then press F11 on your keyboard to go full screen. Then move your mouse all over the screen and click to change the color. If you leave the mouse in one spot the paint drip will get bigger. Keep clicking to get all sorts of different colors. When your child is done with his/her digital masterpiece, press “Print Screen” on your keyboard. Then open up a word program and click Edit>Paste. It will past a screen shot of the digital art that your toddler just did!! Print it out if you wish, let your toddler sign it and date it for the scrapbook. Or hang it on the refrigerator for all to see!
