Art
- The activity allows the 1-year-old student to explore colors and textures as they observe the pom pom moving inside the container.
- The activity promotes sensory development as the child feels the softness of the pom pom and hears the sound it makes when it moves in the container.
- Through this activity, the child starts to understand cause and effect as they realize that their actions (moving the container) cause the pom pom to move as well.
For continued development, consider introducing the child to more textures and colors through various art materials such as finger paints, clay, and fabric scraps. Encourage exploration by providing different objects for the child to manipulate and play with, fostering their creativity and sensory development.
