Arts and crafts for creative toddlers

October is The Big Draw month, where museums and galleries open their doors to let children around the country explore and find their inner artist. We decided to round up the best artistic and creative goodies that will get your child thinking, painting and probably messy. It's all in the name of art though!

Drawing is a great tool for helping children see, think and invent, so make sure you check out The Big Draw events happening around the UK and encourage your child to get stuck in.

From the classic art of drawing, to stamping, painting and sticking, here's our pick of the best arts and crafts items around for pint-sized Picasso...
