Can you pull a straight line? Most grownups don’t consider on their own artistic. Parents do, however, worry about their toddler’s art abilities. As a child care provider for the past 10 years, I’ve had many conversations with parents about ‘how their toddler is doing’ as far as getting ready for preschool or kindergarten. They will worry a lot about the final product of their toddler’s art tasks. I try to clarify with them that art is not just knowing how to draw a flower or a puppy, or whether or not little Jerr colors in the outlines. Little kids need to have self-expression and the ‘doing of art’ more than having a page from a coloring book to hang on the freezer.
When a two-year old puts his chubby little hand in a bathtub of finger paint and happily smears all of the colors together on the paper or if he makes yet another ‘snowman’ out of play-doh, he is creating. Granted, he will certainly let you know that his painting is his dad’s truck even though you ‘just cannot see it. ’ The important thing to remember is that by allowing our little kids to experience art in their own way, we allow them to show us how they see the world around them, how they feel and think.
I always enjoy art time with my toddler and kindergarten age groups. Yeah, they can make a mess, but they just wiggle with excitement once i take out there the ‘arts & crafts’ tub of supplies! Possessing been a military spouse and lived in a few different places, I’ve always returned to providing home day care. Since a result, I’ve had to make do with whatever space I can find in the various homes we’ve lived in. There’s not always a lot of room, but art will take place just about everywhere. I’ve found that the activity is most effective when it’s pre-planned and when I’ve set goals for the experience.
Art is important for toddlers because of the way it makes little kids feel special and good about themselves. When your toddler finishes a publication cut-out collage and keeps up his masterpiece to you with that glowing smile doesn’t that make you really feel good about both of you? Through creating simple art projects, that same toddler is not just learning to take pride in his accomplishments, but also to think and improve his hand-eye coordination and physical skills. Through fine art, children learn to identify colors, cause-and-effect, shapes, problem solving, sharing and assistance among many other skills.
Parents must remember to ask kids or preschoolers questions about their projects that will assist them think about what they’ve made rather than ask them ‘What is that? ’ For example, ‘C. J., tell Mommy about your painting. ’ C. M will learn to discuss his work or anything more he feels important at the time! This shows your child that you are considering what he thinks and aren’t’ just confused about what you see! Make sure to hang the art work up in a popular place in your house so the complete family can enjoy it.
Art activities are a major part of a toddler’s daily activities. They have got grown enough to understand objects and tear document and hold crayons and brushes. Naturally they are thrilled with the concern of a new fine art project, and most significantly, with the quality time spent with the important grownups in his/her life.
