Each week, Ms. Leigh prepares a variety of themed arts and crafts activities for you and your child to explore materials and creation techniques.

This week of April 13, 14, & 15 we will:

  • Increase hand eye coordination by placing glue in specific places
  • Practice pencil grip by drawing lines with markers and painting
  • Work on handskills by manipulating cottonballs and chenille stems
  • Enhance cutting skills by cuttinng very small slivers of paper

Sensory experiences you may encounter:

  • Sticky glue on fingers
  • Sticky tape on fingers
  • Wet paint on hands
  • Soft yarn
  • Soft cottonballs
  • Soft and poking chenille stems
  • Wearing an apron or paint shirt to keep clean while painting
  • And as always, you can expect variety of noises and voices in the classroom: some joyful, some loud, some quiet, and some just learning how to navigate this world.

See you at the Museum!
