A fun day

about 2 years ago

Hello everyone, for those who don't know i work with children and i love what i do 💖

today's work was quite funny don't you think?

At the school where I work, the children and I are very lucky, because we have a farm and a huge forest with some animals and a lot of nature around our school. This morning we had a lot of fun picking up leaves to do our activity

I also took the opportunity to remind them that we are in autumn and that's why the leaves fall

After picking up many leaves I told them that Halloween is coming. And so I decided to do a different job. Instead of painting we use the leaves that we pick up and glue

this job is super funny and they love this kind of work. I let them put the glue freely 😃

Activities that involve collage, drawing, painting and even modeling are essential to promote children's creativity, autonomy, expression and socialization, contributing to the construction and expansion of artistic skills during their literacy process. This type of activity also helps in the development of fine motor coordination, visual perception and imagination, and also promotes knowledge and appreciation of their own culture and others.

children can experience different textures and sensations, thus expanding their knowledge of the world and their ability to express themselves. In addition to collages with the aforementioned materials, different activities such as tearing and perforating paper, making balls, separating buttons help in the development of grip and coordination of fingers and hands. For children over 4 years old, scissors can also be used for cutting and gluing activities.

This type of activity can be guided or a free and abstract art, in which students create their own drawings using crayons, colored pencils, markers, paints (for finger painting), colored glue or even modeling clay and clay. The important thing is that children interact with the materials used and, in free art, they can decide what they are going to use to make their productions.
