Cutting and pasteing (glueing). It is a fundamental skill that is used from the earliest ages of childhood and periodically all through adulthood. If a child has cut and pasted a lot throughout young childhood. Those fine motorskills are clearly visible through their teen years along with their creativity.
We love water color because you can take it anywhere and it is fun!

Finger paint is always fun....and a true masterpiece.
Watercolors by far!
markers are great for portable, less-mess art (and don't melt in the car)
Crayons, markers, and anything we want to add like stickers.
Around our house it seems to be E. - for all of the above and anything else we can find.

I'd say "fingerpaint" if not for the fact that by the end of the session it's best to call it "full body art"!
Finger paints -- lots of mess and lots of fun!

my 5-year-old daughter is definitely into painting / drawing....anything that has to do with painting, especially. She loves to fingerpaint, but she's actually 'moved on' to using alot of different brushes and definitely imitating good ol' Bob Ross quite a bit... it's really cute and she does a great job! :-)
Fingerpainting!
Crayons and markers are plentiful in our house and they travel well too!
We prefer markers, both skinny and fat ones - there are lots of great colors and they are more vibrant than crayons!

We all love finger painting...(outside)....The messier, the better!!!
I also forgot to mention that my oldest, who is disabled, is AMAZING at making earrings! That is her thing, so I will have to go for E. ,other, on her behalf...I can not be as tedious as she can, so I help "organize" beads, while she creates beauty to make herself some fun money!

Definitely finger paint. As a tactile person there is nothing better than feeling the paint on your fingers. It's relaxing, messy, and has a way of releasing the childish creativity of every person. Plus every artwork literally has its own fingerprint.
I like to use crayons and markers because there are so many different effects that can be created.
Finger paints - they are the best.
I like glue sticks and wiggly eyes for the 3-D effect!
I love crayons and markers.
I like to use water colors to paint. They are a wonderful way to show off the beautiful autumn leaves.
a) finger painting for sure!
