I am an infant teacher. I have to come up with art projects for my babies to do. It has to be process art rather than product art. I have a monthy theme this months theme is animal adventures. I need ideas on what to do. Anyone have any ideas?

I've never heard of an infant teacher. I do know infants are babies too young to walk.

I have no idea what type of art projects they could do at that age.

Toddlers, yes. Infants? I don't think so.

Let's see... for animals you could "dip" their hands in grey tempra paint then press them on to a piece of paper to make an elephant like this http://www.papercraftsforchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/hand-elephant-300x160.jpg

Or colorful paint to make turkeys, like this http://www.lessonthis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/turkey-napkin-art.jpg

Infants, children one year of age or younger, will not be capable of doing this on their own. You and your assistant will have to do 100% of the work.
