Painting and printmaking create wonderful opportunities for infants to learn while expressing themselves creatively. They enhance their tactile and sensory skills while touching the paint or other medium and discovering how it feels on their skin. The infants work on their palmar and pincer grasp, eye-hand coordination, and two hands working together in mid line. They also begin to learn the concept of cause & effect. The children are able to see the marks left on the paper from the object that they are using.
