When we encourage children to express themselves freely at a young age, we give them an opportunity to develop their imagination, confidence, and more.
At Kiddie Academy®, one way we encourage Creative Expression is through things like “process” art experiences where the children have free range to use a variety of art materials to create something, instead of just following directions to make a predetermined final product. Creating the same environment at home allows children to feel safe to express themselves even further.
Here’s an activity you can try at home with your child to encourage creative expression:
Family Creations
Materials:
- Family photos
- Modeling dough
- Dough tools (cookie cutters, rollers, etc.)
