This is a really cool art activity for toddlers and preschoolers. I love so many things about it:

For starters, it doesn't cost a dime. It's quick and easy to prepare and set-up. It's a lot of fun for kids of all ages, and it's a terrific way to get creative outside in the sunshine.

The toddlers and preschoolers in my daycare love it, but we've done this with school age kids, and it's always a hit with them too.
