Children expression through art opens up an entire world full of possibilities. Children are able to express themselves through art from an early age and it is therefore desirable to give them access to various art materials and techniques so they could develop them in accordance with their age. Constant work should start from an early age so that children could, based on adopted habits and through constant work, use various art techniques and tools independently and purposefully even later in life. Art activities should be relaxed and carried out without rules and restrictions. Proper encouragement of children's artistic development affects the development of thinking, self-confidence and attitude towards work. Encouraging artistic development in young children brings many positive effects on children's development in other aspects of life, such as learning, independence in work, self-confidence and good work habits. Artistic creation without constraints can also have a therapeutic effect in various types of disorders. There are countless possibilities for art activities that can be carried out with children of nursery age. Art activities that combine the stimulation of several senses at the same time, i.e. multisensory activities, are proven to be the most effective. In young children, such activities encourage increased interest in work and prolong the duration of the activity and children's concentration. The possibilities in the art education of children are almost unlimited, and it is up to us as childcare workers to guide children, always keeping in mind their well-being and quality of life. The aim of this paper is to present some of them and to describe how to implement them safely in nursery care groups with small children. When working with small children, different alternative art techniques are proven to be the best because they are multisensory, and they encourage increased interest in work and participation in activities.
