For each project, we have included a materials list that we use in the tutorial but we believe that constraints hold one of the major keys to creativity so if you are missing something, don’t let that stop you from trying the project. We have also included some simple substitutions and modifications so you can do the project with whatever materials you have to make art in your home. Use your imaginations and let the art labs serve as a creative invitation.

Little artists as young as 18 months can start making marks and enjoying making art with careful  adult supervision and assistance. Artists of different ages can start creating more independently at different stages. Projects may require the use of scissors, glue, and other mediums and it will be up to the discretion of the parents, guardians, and caretakers to ensure the safety of their young artists. A lot of the projects, especially using upcycled materials like cardboard and pantry items will require adult assistance and preparation.
