Grant loves to draw and paint. I bought him a paper roll dispenser for his craft table, so he always has paper handy when he wants it. The cutting process using the built in cutter works well for an adult. After every cut, I have to refeed the paper through the cutter before he starts his next painting. Because of the dexterity required in this process, Grant probably will not be able to do it himself until he is school-aged.
A child's world should be filled with awe and play. Learning should be fun. Here are some suggested toys/supplies/items for your child's learning adventure.

Dot-Paint
I was fortunate enough to have a child who dislikes getting dirty or sticky. One of the benefits of this is he also doesn't like to make sticky messes. His pre-school introduced us to dot paint last year. Grant prefers using dot paints, rather than paint brushes and open containered paint. This way, he doesn't get paint all over himself and I don't have to clean up spilt paint. It works for both of us. We use the Alex Washable brand below, but there are several brands available.
