Painting is visual art that children can learn and develop their natural imagination, problem solving, sensory and motor skills. Today we are using balloons instead of paint brushes. Let's see how we do it.
You'll Need
Water paints
Different size balloons
Plastic plate
A piece of paper.
What We Do
- Put some paint in the plate. We use three main colours, red, blue and yellow to start of with.
- Put a balloon on the paint, then stamp it on the paper.
- Use your imagination and make anything pictures you want.
What They Learn
- Painting can be very messy, but that is how they learn. Children develop their sensory skills through their sensory messy plays. They can explore new textures of paint, paper, balloons, etc.
- Painting requires motor skills to manipulate painting equipment. They use their fingers to move the balloons around the paper to create what they want. This is how they learn how to take control of their world.
- Painting let children express their thoughts, ideas or even their experiences. When Miss Two did her painting, it looks like a blob to me. But she said it was a butterfly. So it was a butterfly!
- Children learn about shapes through painting. Pressing balloons on to paper create circle shapes. What can you make from circles.
- Children learn about colour. They learn that if they mix two colours together, they create a new colour. Because we only use there main colours, red, green and blue, Mr Four needs to mix red and blue together to make his favorite purple colour.
