I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to help parents talk about works of art with their toddlers and preschoolers. To help you get comfortable talking about art with your kids, I’ve put together a list of 20 artworks that work well with toddlers and preschoolers.
My two-year-old sat on my lap while I was finding the artworks, so many of these are Zuzu-approved! 🙂 These are in no order, but the first one was Zuzu’s favorite!
I’ve included the pictures below (or a link to them if they are copyrighted), and at the end, I’ve provided a free download to a PowerPointwith most of the images.
