Use large brushes: Preschoolers may have difficulty with small brushes, so it’s best to use large brushes with thick handles that are easy for little hands to hold.

Use plenty of water: Watercolor paints are thin and transparent, so it’s important to use plenty of water to dilute the paint and make it easier to work with.

Encourage experimentation: Encourage preschoolers to experiment with different brushstrokes and techniques, such as wet-on-wet and dry-brush.
