 
Toddler digital art!
Here's a great computer activity for your toddler to
become familiar with colors and using the mouse. Go to
the site below and then press F11 on your keyboard to go
full screen. Then move your mouse all over the screen
and click to change the color. If you leave the mouse in
one spot the paint drip will get bigger. Keep clicking
to get all sorts of different colors. When your child is
done with his/her digital masterpiece, press "Print
Screen" on your keyboard. Then open up a word program
and click Edit>Paste. It will past a screen shot of the
digital art that your toddler just did!! Print it out if
you wish, let your toddler sign it and date it for the
scrapbook. Or hang it on the refrigerator for all to
see!
