Exploring ways to be creative

June 2011,July 2011 –

Notice – Jade explores messy play and tactile activities. Her exploration of these activities is broadening in to the exploration of paint and clay which she is beginning to use in a more purposeful manner than just as a sensory/exploratory exercise.

Recognize – moving from tactile messy play to exploration of messy media to use with a creative purpose in mind.

Respond – provide Jade with substances/media that she can use to create with. Introduce Jade to art and craft techniques she can use to enhance her ability to express herself creatively (may include dramatic play and music as well as art and craft).
