Craft
A dot that turns into a picture
- ages 3–9
- 40 min
After reading the book 'The Dot', each child turns their dot into any picture.
Steps
- The teacher reads Peter H. Reynolds' book 'The Dot' and talks with children about courage in creating.
- Each child gets a piece of paper with a large coloured dot stuck anywhere.
- Children draw elements so that the dot becomes something: a sun, a ladybug, a balloon, a face.
- Signed by the authors, the works create an exhibition 'Everyone is an artist'.
Tip: Ask children to come in polka dot clothes that day.
Materials needed
- Book 'The Dot' by Peter H. Reynolds (1 copy)
- Large coloured dot stickers (1 pack)
- Oil pastel crayons (1 set per 2 children)
- A4 drawing block (1 sheet per child)
