One of my most popular kids learning activity series is Art History for Preschoolers. Kids love exploring grown-up topics, like Art, and the works of the masters, are incredible creative inspiration for them. One of my personal favorite artists is Claude Monet. If you loved my Monet Inspired Water Lillies Sensory Bin, but are looking for more Monet Art for Kids ideas, you can find options for a complete artist study, for preschoolers to teens, below.
10+ Monet Art For Kids of All Ages
Impressionist art is inspiring for many beginning artists. The use of free brush strokes is acheivable by even the youngest of artists, and the vibrant colors used by Monet make him a great focus of study for kids. Using different mediums and techniques, kids from preschoolers to teens can create works inspired by the landscapes Monet is most famous for.
