🌊🐠 Under the Sea – Day 1 🐙🪼
What a fantastic start to our Under the Sea week! This morning, the children created their own mixed-media underwater scenes, and we were so impressed with their creativity, concentration and enthusiasm from start to finish 💙
Throughout the activity, the children developed so many important skills, including:
🖌️ Fine motor skills through painting, cutting, colouring, gluing and manipulating masking tape.
✋ Hand-eye coordination when placing and assembling each element of their artwork.
🎨 Creativity and imagination by designing their own sea creatures and choosing colours, patterns and layouts.
🧠 Problem-solving and decision-making as they planned where to position each part of their picture.
💬 Communication and language through discussing ideas, sharing resources and talking about sea life.
⏳ Concentration, patience and perseverance by following a multi-step creative process.
🌟 Confidence and independence as they made their own creative choices and took pride in their own unique artwork.
