Our “Art & Play” program for children ages 2-6 focuses on “process art”. With process art the fun is all in the doing, there are no rules; it involves exploration and tactile learning with no specific outcome. In the end you always end up with a work of art, even if it isn’t planned! We host this program once a month at our Central Library.
For October, we focused on dot painting! We gave the kids dot paints (like bingo marking pens) and blank white paper, and let them have fun!

And even I couldn’t help joining in the fun:
