Texture boards are a great extension for a basic skill like coloring for many toddlers who have really begun to show control over direction and pressure when using the crayons. I recommend creating this project while out of the reach of children because it does use hot glue which could cause burns. Enjoy!
What You'll Need:
8 x 11 or larger piece of cardboard (I like to use the large rectangles from a recycled cereal box)
Hot glue gun and hot glue
Very simply, create a pattern on the cardboard with the hot glue. Feel free to get creative with your design although geometric shapes do tend to work best and allow you the opportunity to talk about different shapes. Once the hot glue has cooled the board is ready to introduce to your toddler. You may have to help them place their paper over the texture board the first few times and show them that a design will now come through their artwork.
