It’s fun to guide and encourage your child to look, hear, smell and
feel things that relate to the subject matter before they do a project.
It not only teaches them to be aware of what is around them, but to
“analyze & see” like an artist. Here is a game you can play with your
child when the seasons change. We are creating a fall mixed media
tree so let’s play a game that goes along, so your child gets a true
feeling of what they are creating.
Example of the Game: Ask your child. “What is different when it
is Fall?”
Here are some examples:
The weather changes, it’s colder and it smells different when you
go for walks, days are shorter, you can’t play outside as long, leaves
on the trees change color from green to red, orange, yellow and
browns, there are pumpkins in the fields, our pets grow thicker hair,
football season is here, you are in school, there are less people at the
beach or amusement parks. You can think of many more. It’s FUN.
Now you are ready to CREATE!
