I love simple activities that don't involve a lot of set-up and also include free to nearly free items. The paint chips you can get at your local paint store or Wal-Mart make GREAT little activities for children that can be a learning experience as well as just plain fun.

Fun paint child activities for children that are great for learning and fine motor skills.

Today I rounded up some cute ideas for you to try. With baby no.2 coming in just a few short weeks I'm sure we will be trying some of these as well with my toddler daughter.

  1. I admit it, I’m a huge fan of paint samples! I am always collecting them at the hardware store… I may have a slight addiction. (grin)

    Thanks for including our preschool activities. Looking forward to trying more paint sample fun!

  2. Thanks so much for sharing our Scissor Skills post… what a great round-up of paint chip ideas! Now to sneak some more paint chip samples on the next trip to Lowe’s!
