Please excuse the mess...the children are making memories

Tuesday 24th October

Painting allows children to express their creativity and ideas. Developing a skill like painting provides the stimulus children need to be successful in all aspects of life.

Painting can help children communicate their emotions or feelings. Through the use of different colours, they can express themselves without the use of words.

Painting assists children to acquire hand-eye coordination, an important skill in their age. This is developed while they learn to paint the parts that they see; making sure their hand movement is at par with their vision.

Painting aids children to develop mobility skills. Their hand muscles are being used, which allows them a scope to develop both mentally and physically.

Painting helps our children acquire skills on how to focus on trivial details, painting on a canvas or a piece of paper requires varied painting skills.

Painting can be a great podium for children to progress and discover their creativity. They learn about various colour mixtures and how they go together.

Painting can help children learn sizes, shapes, patterns and designs. These are all critical aspects of their curriculum during pre-school years.

Painting helps children develop their decision-making skills. They need to plan ahead as they choose which colour should be used for different parts of the painting.

Painting can play the role of therapy for a child who might be feeling different emotions; whether these feelings are subtle or extreme in nature. In addition to communication, painting can help children feel better about things that they may have bottled up inside.
