Instead of paints, this famous artist kids art activity uses craft felt.
This makes it possible to reuse the activity over and over again.

She can then take apart her cubist creation and figure out how to re-make it!
Your child can try the activity out again tomorrow, next week or any time that she wants.
Felt Art for Kids
Cut out felt shapes.
Your child can start with the face, creating a circle.
Shell also
need smaller shapes to make eyes, ears, a nose, a mouth and hair.
As your child presses the pieces on, theyll stick together (creating a DIY felt board).
Before your child lets her inner Picasso out, she can craft a realistic portrait.
This gives her the chance to name the different facial features, and put them in the correct places.
Remove the felt pieces from the face circle.
