Dinosaur Resist Process Art

This Dinosaur Resist Process Art is perfect for practicing fine motor skills with your little kids. Don’t forget to add this quick and easy open-ended art activity to your next dinosaur preschool theme!

Do you remember the Dinosaur Painting for Kids Process Art activity that we did a few weeks ago? The beautiful photo we received in our curriculum kit inspired the little guy to take an entirely different approach to the activity and we ended up creating this awesome Dinosaur Resist Process Art.

A huge thanks to Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for providing us with their Experience Preschool curriculum for free in exchange for sharing our honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. It’s been such a huge blessing to us! As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own.

We used the inspiration photo as a starting point and the little guy drew his own prehistoric scene and of course added a dinosaur. After that, we used watercolors to create the background. The little guy painted an amazing sky with lots of different shades of blue and gray.

Process art is so important for little kids. Not only is it a wonderful way to encourage creative thinking and problem-solving skills, but it’s also a lot of fun!

I love that the little guy put his own spin on it. We started with an activity from the Teacher Guide and by the time it was all said and done he had made a completely unique piece art.
