One of my favorite ways to celebrate Mardi Gras with kids is through art. Preschoolers love to paint, and it’s more about the process for them than it is about the finished product. That’s why this Mardi Gras bead painting project is perfect for preschoolers.

Painting with beads is great for developing fine motor skills and exploring art mediums that aren’t the usual paintbrushes they normally use.
