N is working on recognizing her colors by:
1) picking the color I tell her to choose
2) picking a color and telling me which color it is
 |
| Such a cute student to have! :D |
 |
| Picking her colors. |
 |
| This is N painting "quietly". She would dab the paint softly. |
 |
| Dabbing her dot paint. I had to show her how to hold the bottle correctly. It takes talent to be able to take the lid off and turn the bottle upside down. |
 |
| The finished product-not too bad for a 2 year old! And she stayed on the paper, too! |
This activity reinforces fine motor skills, color recognition, and self-control!! Keeping a 2 year old in one place to do an activity for at least 5 minutes can be challenging! But I believe it is very important to have them practice at home before they enter the school setting (whether at home or in school). Once they get into the classroom they will already have an understanding that they are there to learn/work and not just play. Just my own opinion! :D
