Think of one of the art activities shared today and how this could be adapted for the babies in the pairivik.

How would you lead this art activity for babies in 3 steps?

What kinds of things do we need to prepare and watch for?

Step 1: Get supplies ready.

Step 2: Give crayons to babies and let them colour the plate with teachers guidance.

Step 3: Finish the activity for them with a ‘help’ from babies.

Before we do the art activity, I would sing a song related to Christmas and make it short and simple. I would have the babies move around while singing, and I would let babies watch me ‘dance’ move around too.

Macy and I choose to be at Polar Bear class which are the ages of 4-5 year old it our plan changed to smaller ages we would need to use glue sticks instead of liquid glue. We also planned to let the students glue their own tongue but if we changed planned to do it in the smaller age we would need to fix the tongue for the infants and toddlers.

1. I would explain what we have to do

2. Help them cut up the hats and help them to glue up the Cotten balls

3. Once they finish the art we would put the Santa faces to dry up in the counter.

We have to watch babies in case they put toxic supplies in their mouth and the things we need to prepare are safe location, safe supplies, and being aware.

We need to be prepared about how messy it can get, set the activity sets to where they won’t reach it, let the apron be ready also set the table right. We need to watch students well so they won’t make a mess to the floor and watch them how they are doing the activity to see how well they are doing.

When we are preparing for the art activities, put the mat or the cloth on top of the table or on the floor. Use the washable paint and , with the the markers they can do colouring if the art activities need some colouring.

The project we would be doing was to make art work of the sun and land water paint. We would tell them (we do not eat or lick paint brushes.) i would show how it will be done, first i would paint the sun with the colour yellow than the land with colour green and ask them if they want to add something in the sky they can. Watch them what they are doing just to make sure they are being careful with the paint brushes. When they are done ask them to wash hands and help with putting back paint brushes and clean the area. While cleaning we would be singing a song clean up.

We would make hand prints, we would help them do the hand prints when done place them on the side and let them do anything for a little bit and then wash they’re hands and clean up.

• preparing art supplies before gathering the children in a circle or on the table

• Explain to the children what the lesson plan is and demonstrate how it will be

• Start the art with the kids, once done with using the supplies, start cleaning up after them, when kids are done with the art they are doing, put them aside to dry them up.

But doing art with the younger ones like the babies, we would need to do sensory art like using crayons or ziplock and put paint in them as it wont be too messy for them to make.
