I will be posting another 'Toddler Art' article shortly. In the meantime, you could also try letting her loose with chalk on an outside wall or footpath/ pavement - chunky chalk is important though as little fingers might get scraped in the enthusiasm!

My 14 month old has just started to make marks on paper with crayons and markers. They are hanging on the cabinets and on the fridge. She talks about them and points at them throughout each meal! It is never-ending inspiration for her to then jump down and move on to the next masterpiece. I tape paper on the dishwasher and let her go to town, as it makes a great easy-clean surface and just the right height for her. She loves moving her pictures from place to place around the kitchen! I'd love to read more about art with toddlers here... I followed a link from the Artful Parent comments to read what you had to say about toddler art.
