Hello!
When you're not sure what to get for a 2-year-old, this Finger Painting book might be worth considering.
Raising a child at 2 is still a bit early, but starting with simple things like finger painting is a great idea. This book by Nevedova offers some fun tasks and lets your little one try their hand at being a mini-artist.
I picked up Finger Painting on Wildberries for 100 rubles. Given that it comes with colorful pictures inside, that's a great deal. Whenever I get a new book, my kid loves flipping through the pages. Here, he immediately pointed to the hand on the cover and said, 'Hand.'
To be honest, my kid is 2.5, so we don't need to prep for writing just yet, but developing patience will definitely come in handy. The author promises to help with speech development, but don't expect your kid to paint and then start talking non-stop. It's more like a daily... or I should say, hourly effort. Do you get milk from the fridge? Talk about it! Are you out for a walk and see a car? Point it out! It's all about not being lazy.
Finger Painting is the second level. All the tasks are designed for kids between 1 and 3 years old. Older kids might find it less interesting.
I love the Clever approach. I've used another activity book before, but it just seemed weird (I wrote about it here).
The instructions on the book are super clear, but we all know that every kid is unique.
Even on the back, they're suggesting you keep your phone handy. I've taken so many photos and videos of my kid that I could make a whole movie out of it.
By the way, about the fame thing. If it weren't for these books, they'd be completely unknown. So, all these accolades are kinda unnecessary. As a teacher, it's a calling. I rarely see kids who love their teachers.
I've noticed that the product is accompanied by ads for other developmental toys.
Now, let's talk about the print quality.
If your child is between 1-1.6 years old, I wouldn't leave them alone with the book - they'll color everything around them.
The tasks are indeed suitable for children up to 3 years old.
And, of course, there are some tips before you start working with your child. Make sure to cover your table with plastic wrap.
And, honestly, I don't think I need to say much about the authors - it's not that relevant.
I'm glad we've got the packaging out of the way, because what's inside is way more exciting for kids. I picked up the cheapest paints I could find at Lenta, and they cost around 19-20 rubles for six colors. It's better to start with ones that won't break the bank. I wouldn't recommend gouache, though - it's just too thick.
This palette has already been used six times, and my son is still going strong.
First up, I introduced my son to a picture of grapes. He's familiar with the concept, but when he saw it on the palette, he was stumped. I asked him what it was, but he just stayed quiet. When I explained it to him, he started to get it. It's really important to talk through the pictures, too.
The second picture I showed him was of a Dalmatian dog. My son isn't familiar with breeds, so any dog is just a dog to him. We have a Dalmatian at home, so he was able to recognize it right away and started adding black spots.
I have to say, the next picture didn't quite work for me. My son was at the beach, but he doesn't know what's inside the starfish. For him, stars are just something you see in the night sky. I think it's a bit of a mismatch.
The pea picture was a hit, though. My son started talking as soon as he saw it. We haven't even started drawing yet, but that's because after the kid draws dots, you have to wait for the picture to dry. So, we stick to finger painting once a day, which takes about 15 minutes.
The pages of the book feature a dandelion, butterflies, flowers in a pot, an umbrella, trees with leaves, a fireworks display, confetti, and a basket. To be honest, not all the pictures seem suitable for a child's age group.
Take the dandelion, for example - we'll need to use white paint for that one. Honestly, it's better to include paints in the package when it comes to books like this.
My son's favorite picture is of a Christmas tree. He's already decorated one in real life, and now he wants to draw some tiny ornaments.
The colorful illustrations really grab a kid's attention. My little one recognizes the pictures, makes sounds, and tries to color in the objects.
I've found this activity to be a real gem for 2-year-olds. It's that time when they can't draw yet, but they really want to. My son's started recognizing colors and understanding which ones to use.
He dips his finger in water, then in paint, and then puts dots on the picture. He loves it. If you don't want your little one to get messy, you can use a cotton swab. I think this method would be perfect for preschool. At home, you can just let them get messy with their fingers.
The author does a great job with the tasks. The child isn't just coloring with their fingers, they're actually creating and showing off their work with their hands. It's up to the parent to explain and guide them.
You don't have to worry about not having time for activities with your little one. This activity is designed for just 15 minutes a day. In the evening, I set my son up at the table and it's chaos!
My kid is completely hooked on these coloring activities. At 2.2-2.6 years old, kids this age love 'em. They're super engaging and calming, making them a great option for evening time - especially when it's freezing outside.
I'd highly recommend Draw with Your Fingers, Level 2. It's a fantastic activity that's worth every penny. In fact, I'd say it's a better gift than a bag of candy.
Why? Well, drawing with your fingers:
Develops focus;Improves eye contact;Boosts patience;Introduces new information;Enhances communication skills.And the price? It's an absolute steal at just 100 rubles! It's a gift that keeps on giving - for both parents and kids. Let's be real, kids won't thank you for candy later, but they might just thank you for the chance to develop their skills.
By the way, I've also got a book called Yearly Course that's perfect for 2-year-olds. It's my son's favorite, and I was amazed when he started opening it every day.
I highly recommend Draw with Your Fingers, Level 2 and give it a well-deserved 5 stars!
Thanks for reading!
