One-year-old children
Creative tasks can already be offered to kids10-12 months. Give the child a pencil and paper. Let him explore them. Do not select a pencil when the baby tries it, for its age it is normal to learn the world through the taste sensations. Direct the baby. Tell him to "draw a line in pencil". Even if he does not understand what is required of him, repeat it several times. Gradually, the kid will learn how to respond to your words and draw your first scrawl. Children who are already a year old can be offered to draw with pencils, felt-tip pens, crayons and paints (especially good finger). You can try exercises with plasticine, most likely, they will just poke it and squeeze it, but it is also very useful for the development of fine motor skills. Babies, who will soon be two, offer stickers and colored scotch. You can also try the lessons with scissors and glue. Remember, in the work involve the whole body. Buy only eco-friendly materials for classes. And spend short classes (no more than 10 minutes), then the baby will not have time to get tired and it will be interesting. Master class. Draw a silhouette. Take a large paper or a piece of wallpaper, spread it on the floor, or better glue it on the scotch tape. Invite the toddler to lie down on the sheet in a funny pose. Circle his body with a felt-tip pen. Then ask the child to draw a pattern, clothes, face, or simply paint the figure inside the silhouette. Dry the picture, then hang it on the wall. Thanks to this exercise, the children begin to look at their body and think about it.
