Motivation
Provide Materials
Use noise
questions
Use
kinetic
questions
"Does your marker like to dance" "Does the
crayon like
to skate?"
"How fast can it spin?"
Use direction
questions
"Does the crayon go up the paper? Down the
paper?"
Use size and color
questions
Use shape questions:
"Does
the marker make a circle?"
Utilize
sounds,
noises, music
Do
not worry about "pictures" because for
the child much of scribbling is
not visual as much as much as it is motion and action
|
Materials
For growth, materials
need good
line contrast.
Maximize use of
Dark and Bright
on white
Examples are:
Markers,
Crayons
Thick Paints
firm bristle
brushes
Clay and similar
modeling materials, wet
chalk on dark paper
Wet Sand.
Blocks - natural wood
and colored.
Sorting sets of
Color, Texture,
Shape.
Puzzles
Minimize use of transparent watercolor,
soft hair brushes,
and finger-paints because they are harder to see and to harder to learn
the connection between action and result
|
For
More Growth
Ask for the story
of
the picture.
Encourage
verbalization, explanation.
Ask about
under,
over, which is
bigger, smaller,
sad and happy.
Ask if there is
any more that they
want to add?
Ask where to place
their name?
