During this Christmas time, children engaged in different creative and decorative activities, including painting the Christmas tree, exploring the sensory tray with rice and snow-themed materials, and, of course play, dough as well.
The children eagerly filled in the tree shape with bright and festive colours, and some mixed the colours to make the tree look unique.
The tactile nature of play dough allowed children to explore the textures and refine their fine motor skills. Children showed curiosity and excitement as they uncovered the figurines in the coloured rice tray.
Reflection:
The activities helped children to express their creativity through art, refine fine motor skills, and engage in sensory exploration. The children displayed excitement and a sense of pride in their creations.
The snow and the rice sensory tray help the children to develop their creativity and help them to learn about the different climates around them, like winter, snow, etc.
Analysis of learning:
These activities help the children to develop their creativity and foster their self-expression and individuality. The painting and the play dough activity help the children to develop their fine motor skills.
While engaging in these activities, the children are developing their social skills by sharing and exchanging their ideas.
