This helps a child to communicate because some are non-verbal or still learning how to talk, some just blabber their words. They can express their feelings by drawing a picture of how they are feeling. An ECE worker can support by asking yes/no questions and they can ask for more information by asking the child to continue drawing how they’re feeling.

They tell each other “look at my work!” They are excited to show what work they’ve done, they express feelings such as joy and laughter; they also play with their imaginations with each other. They tell their favourite colours and share/teach some ideas on art activities.

in my opinion art helps children to communicate with someone because what if the children can’t talk good or can’t talk. Seeing with the child made out of art helps what that child is trying to say. An ECE worker will ask questions and look at the child for their reaction or to see if they agree or not.

Art is a way to express yourself, and for the kids who are still learning how to talk it’s most likely easier to communicate through art and same goes for the shy quiet kids, it’s probably more comfortable for them too

Art helps children communicate by getting them to express what they’re feeling or thinking through non-verbal communication. ECE workers can support this by asking the children what they’re drawing, colouring or painting and encouraging them to keep doing what they’re doing because they are doing a very good job. ECE workers can also support this by providing all sorts of resources for the children to use such as papers, crayons, markers, paint and paint brushes.

Art can help children communicate as they share and teach some ideas on art activities, they laugh and hold conversations about their art. Colouring is a great way to start a conversation, it allows the opportunity for children to speak to one another. Talking about their art helps them process and let go of feelings through actions, helps them learn names for colours and shapes. This activity improves their language.

art helps children communicate with others by drawing or painting with they are feeling. If the child is still learning how to talk or can’t really talk, they’ll do it on paper. An ECE worker will look at the art and ask the child questions and look at the child to see their response and will understand what the child is saying. Art can also just be a fun activity for them. When we put out a painting crafts, the kids get excited cause we mainly do painting once a week.

Doing any kind of art, helps the children help communicate and asks questions about it. It helps them not be shy, talk more and especially for the non talkative kid, I have this child who is so shy and eventually got the hang of showing me what she’s done and is so proud when I’m happy for what she did. It helps communicate! An ECE worker can help support by being by their side and say nice job, well done etc.. It’ll help them to be comfortable and confident in showing their work with the teachers.

There are a few different ways to communicate when children do arts and crafts.

1. They asks us some questions when they are stuck on something.

2. When they are done they are excited to show us by calling our names and tell us what they did with their projects.

3. They show and tell their parents what they did with their projects.

Arts help children communicate by providing a non-verbal outlet to express complex emotions and ideas. Telling stories through images, and developing language skills through discussing their emotions.

For children with limited verbal abilities, art can be a way to express feelings and needs, and the art of creating can be a calming, self-regulating activity.

Art can help children with their imaginations, and the ability to create their own ideas or experiences in a creative manner. It’s helps them to communicate and cope with their feelings.

As an ECE worker we can support the children by telling them that they did a good job on their art, or we can ask questions to the children to be able to have better support for them.

arts helps children communicate by asking their friends if they’re done using the objects they were using, tells them they’re using this colour on this art and this colour too, children’s telling ECE workers they’re finished with their arts with a smile on their faces… art also helps children develop cognitive, by memorizing colours shapes and sizes… communicating their emotional domain, by expressing their feelings…..

Also ECE workers would support childrens by telling them what they need to do, we ECE need to do some cognitive work (no all) but to teach the children on what they need to do, help them with painting, cutting, gluing, show them where they need to be put.. we also would help support them by putting their arts on the walls… and the children’s would communicate with us ece workers by asking where their arts are, and asking where their friends arts are also….

How does arts help children communicate?. Well it helps with their imagination and communicating with each other. It makes them use their brain and tell them what they’re doing. Gives or ask for advice from other toddlers. Teaches them to have patience. Learning colours or shapes.

We teachers can tell them they do a good job at their arts. Telling them they have good imagination. Can tell them they can use their brain for drawing anything.
