Browse art activities by age
Choose an age group to see projects that meet kids where they are – from first finger-painting and taste-safe sensory play to more detailed drawing, building, and mixed-media art.
Babies (0–12 months)
Gentle, supervised sensory play and first “art” experiences focused on exploration, not finished products.
Toddlers (1–3 years)
Big motions, short attention spans, and lots of curiosity. Simple setups and easy clean-up.
Preschoolers (3–5 years)
More stamina, more tools, more imagination. Process art, simple projects, and lots of experimentation.
Big kids (ages 6–9)
Ready for multi-step projects, simple planning, and trying new materials and techniques.
Tweens (ages 9–12)
More independent makers who love detail, style, and projects they can truly “own.”
All ages & siblings
Open-ended invitations and simple projects that work well with mixed ages or the whole family together.
