CREATIVITY…IN COLOUR!!! -T/Th Fine Arts & Science
In our classroom we have recently been concentrating on the many different colours in the world around us.
The last few weeks we have tried to provide a good variety of “colourful” activities to stimulate the children’s different senses, causing them to see, hear, touch and manually manipulate many different parts in their free play time.
It has been interesting to encourage conversations about colours as the children play and converse at circle time….discussing their favourite colour, the colours of foods that we eat, the colour of our shoes and clothes and the colours of the leaves changing around us. These chats allow us to know each other better and become more comfortable connecting with each other verbally.
We have offered the opportunity to manipulate dough, dig in sensory bins, build with various types of blocks, paint, draw, cut as well as read, sing, dance, climb, swing, slide and design their own games using loose parts.

Giving children the chance to develop their gross and fine motor skills using a variety of play places and projects gives them great confidence and causes them to grow and learn in many ways.
It is our goal as educators to give your children a continually changing and challenging environment in which they can develop their creativity more and more!!!
