Art
- The 2-year-old student learned about colors and the concept of sorting and categorizing by collecting a variety of different colored pom poms.
- She developed fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by picking up the glue using the paintbrush and transferring the glue onto her paper.
- Through the process of picking up each pom pom and sticking them down on her paper, the student explored patterns and textures, gaining an understanding of design and composition.
For continued development, encourage the child to explore different shapes and sizes of pom poms and experiment with creating different patterns or pictures using the pom poms. Provide opportunities for the child to learn about different art materials and techniques, such as mixing colors or using alternative adhesives.
