Art
- The child learned about spatial awareness and proportions by designing and building the dollhouse out of cardboard.
- They explored color theory by selecting and painting different rooms in the dollhouse.
- They practiced fine motor skills by cutting out and assembling furniture and decorations for the dollhouse.
- The child demonstrated creativity and imagination by designing the layout and decor of the dollhouse.
For continued development, encourage the child to create more rooms or add additional features to their dollhouse. They can experiment with different art techniques such as collage or using mixed media materials to decorate the rooms. Another idea is to have the child create a story or narrative for the dollhouse, incorporating characters and creating mini scenes or dioramas within the different rooms.
