Montessori emphasizes that art is a means for children to express themselves freely. It’s not about producing perfect or conventional art but about the process of self-expression. This aligns with Montessori’s belief in allowing children to make choices, encouraging them to explore materials, and fostering their creativity.
The best Children’s Day gift for themselves! Children were celebrating Children’s Day through online lessons by making themselves in art and craft sessions.
Art and craft activities give kids a sense of achievement and take pride in their work which builds confidence. Making art is a great, safe way to discover that it’s okay to make mistakes and that getting things ‘wrong’ can lead you to a whole new idea. Kids get to try new things and also develop their “self-regulation skills~
Molding clay is the most creative work of the hands, don’t you agree? Children started making the clay itself first, then carefully shaping it into their desired bowl. Then they patiently waited for the clay to harden and be ready to decorate it and finally use it!
All these steps are done by the child’s hands! What an amazing creation!
“Clay folds,
Clay molds,
Clay rests.
Clay sets,
Clay dances to the tune you love to hum,
Clay grows into a person you finally become.” by Praveen
