Can you pull a straight line? Most adults 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’ so far as getting ready for preschool or kindergarten. They will worry a lot about the final product of their toddler’s art jobs. I try to make clear for them that art is not only knowing how to draw a flower or a puppy, or whether or not little Jason colors in the lines. 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 refrigerator.
When a two-year old puts his chubby little hand in a bath tub 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’s creating. Granted, he will certainly let you know that his painting is his dad’s truck while you ‘just can not see it. ’ The important thing to remember is that by allowing our little kids to experience art in their own way, we be sure to let them show us how they see the world around them, how they feel and think.
I always enjoy art time with my toddler and preschool age groups. Yeah, they can make a mess, however they just wiggle with excitement when I take out there the ‘arts & crafts’ tub of supplies! Getting been a military spouse and lived in a few different places, I have always returned to providing home day care. Because a result, I’ve needed to make do with whatever space I can find in the different homes we have 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 as a result of way it makes little kids feel special and good about themselves. When your toddler finishes a publication cut-out collage and holds up his masterpiece to you with that beaming smile doesn’t that make you feel good about both of you? Through creating simple art projects, that same toddler isn't 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 a number of other skills.
Mother and father must make sure to ask toddlers or preschoolers questions about their projects that will make them think about what they’ve made rather than ask them ‘What is that? ’ For example, ‘C. J., tell Mommy about your painting. ’ C. J will start to discuss his work or anything else he feels important at the time! This shows your child that you are interested in what this individual thinks and aren’t’ just confused about what you see! Make sure to hang the art work up in a prominent place at home so the complete family can enjoy it.
Art encounters are a major part of a toddler’s daily activities. They have grown enough to grasp objects and tear document and hold crayons and brushes. Naturally they are thrilled with the anticipation of a new art project, and most importantly, with the quality time spent with the important older people in his/her life.
