Red barn art project for toddlers

RED BARN ART PROJECT FOR TODDLERS

Our book of the week is "Big Red Barn", so it is inspired by it. We started with the barn that I drew remembering my art class lesson in high-school about perspective (I'm not an artist and we don't have to be). The grass is a 11 inches piece of green streamer. I spread some glue on the barn then asked the children to flip it over and put it the the paper. Then I put glue on the barn and gave them little craft sticks. The following days we add a pig, a horse and a sheep.

I'm not an artist, I Googled "how to draw a pig and I to draw a horse and followed the directions. If I sis it you can do it too.

This activity is good for initiative, engagement in learning and cognitive flexibility.

The principles that guide me to manage a group of toddlers

THE PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE ME TO MANAGE A GROUP OF TODDLERS 1. The group as a whole is the priority at all times. That means I try not to focus too hard or too long on anything else. When I clean or put the shoes on one child for example, I keep an eye on the group. I position myself in a way that I see everyone. And if one child gets bored or disruptive, I drop whatever i'm doing and discreetly direct him/her to a safe and acceptable activity. If I cannot drop what I'm doing, for example if I'm changing a diaper, I sing an action song or direct verbally. The tone and the words have to be positive and enthusiastic as opposed to negative. I try to not turn my back on the children. If I ever do, for example to open the shed in the playground, I count them first and acknowledge that they are safe and behaved, if not I take care of that first. Then I am quick at opening the shed or whatever else and then I count them again and see ...
