Finger painting allows for open-ended creativity and exploration of materials, which is developmentally appropriate for four- and five-year-old children. Following step-by-step directions or coloring pre-drawn forms may limit creativity and hinder the child's development of their own artistic style. Using art activities as incentives or rewards may also send the message that art is only valuable for extrinsic rewards rather than for its own enjoyment and self-expression.
