CREATIVE

IDEAS:

Some suggestions for at home creativity:

 

Make space for your child to create. Ideal is to tape a large piece of paper to a wall that has been covered with newspaper, plastic or drop cloth. An A4 paper (8.5”x11”) at the kitchen table works well too. Provide paint, color pencils, neocolor (crayons) or a ball point pen. 

​

A few things to remember:

​

•  Be silent and supportive. Witness the play that is possible.

• Children do not need instructions, they learn naturally.

• The mere observation of expression will lead to enthusiasm.

• Do not ask for additional explanations about what is created. 

• Allow play to happen. 

• The trace or scribble holds a valuable role that the spoken language is unable to address.

• Trust your child’s independence and spontaneity.
   

Once the drawing is finished, put it in a drawer or compartment and give the child a new sheet of paper so that his or her play can go a little further.
