Young children have the desire to create. We see it in our own children every day! What we may not know is that art is a way for children to express their feelings and emotions. Open-ended art allows them to make independent choices on what materials to use, the outcome of the work, and individual expression rather than on the final product. Exploration and creative thinking are linked to meeting challenges throughout our life! So log off pinterest, grab the plain white paper, tubes of paint, brushes and let them lead the way.
“It’s a treasure map and X marks the spot for the treasure!”
“See it in the middle? X marks the spot!”
