Why it helps
This activity promotes the child's tactile awareness and works on developing fine motor skills.
Place paint in a shallow bowl or a paper plate. Have the child dip a piece of marshmallow or foam in the paint and stamp it onto the construction paper.
You can let the child create his own picture or if you would like to work on visual-motor skills, you can have the child trace lines, shapes, and letters.
You can use small or big marshmallow for this activity.
For children who tend to put things in their mouths, use a stamper that is too big to fit in the mouth, like a toilet paper roll or a large sponge, instead of marshmallows. Stay close during play, since marshmallows can be a choking risk for young children.
