Can you attract a straight line? Many older people don’t consider by themselves 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 discussions 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 projects. 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 Jerr colors in the ranges. Little kids need to see 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 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 is creating. Granted, he will certainly inform you that his painting is his dad’s truck while you ‘just can’t see it. ’ Typically the important thing to keep in mind 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 preschool age groups. Yeah, they can make a chaos, however they just wiggle with excitement after i take away 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. As a result, I’ve were required to make do with whatever space I can find in the different homes we’ve lived in. There’s not always a lot of room, but art can take place just about everywhere. I’ve found that the activity is most effective when it’s pre-planned so when I’ve set goals for the activity.
Art is important for toddlers because of the way it makes little kids feel special and good about themselves. When your toddler finishes a journal cut-out collage and keeps 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 is not only 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.
Moms and dads must make sure to ask small children or preschoolers questions about their projects that can help them think about what they have made rather than ask them ‘What is that? ’ For example, ‘C. J., tell Mommy about your painting. ’ C. J will learn to speak about his work or anything else he feels important at the time! This too 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 popular place at home 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 papers and hold crayons and brushes. Naturally they are thrilled with the anticipation of a new art project, and most important, with the quality time spent with the important grown ups in his/her life.
