Back when I made our first paint stick project for my preschooler (There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly Activity), I knew we were on to something special. Paint stick activities are fun ways for preschoolers to practice story sequencing, fine motor skills, matching, etc. And they’re fun for me to make too (nothing like a crafty project that’s fun for mom and tot!) After that first project I came up with several more paint stick projects that have been just as popular with our readers. Do you have some leftover paint sticks from a painting project in your garage? Or maybe you bought paint sticks in bulk for a crafty idea. Here’s 10 ways from my blog and around the web to those paint sticks in a preschool setting!
