Imagine and Create With Art Crafts and Materials
There may be children born with special talents and skills when it comes to arts and crafts but they need not have a monopoly on it.
As a parent, it is pretty normal to worry about your child's abilities when it comes to art because of course you want them to develop in all aspects, academic and non-academic.
When they draw at a young age, naturally, their work is not perfect.
This is due to the fact that their fine motor skills are not yet well-developed, thus, they don't have total control of a pencil or a paint brush.
But even at a very young age, kids can already express their ideas about their surroundings even though they don't know much.
It is critical to give the children ways and means for them to convey their thoughts and imagination in their own little way.
Achieving this is not that hard as long as your daycare center and playroom have the arts and crafts materials that could stimulate their senses, and encourage them to draw something.
I'm sure you will be surprised with what your children can do given these materials.
There are a lot of art materials available in the market, and that includes washable paints, clay dough, colored markers, glitters, poster boards and papers, beads, blunt tip scissors and a lot more.
Children enjoy painting with their bare hands; using a paint brush would be hard for them to control.
With clay dough, they can exercise their memory and try to build something that they saw once or twice and want to see again.
Colored markers and glitters can be used, when they want to enhance or put color to a drawing that they already made.
What is important is to never force a child to create something that he doesn't want, because doing so you would tend to overrule their sense of autonomy even though they are still young.
