Painting
Painting with watercolours is an independent and creative activity offered in the classroom. Fine-motor skills are used to hold the paintbrush and make strokes, dots, lines, etc. onto paper. The process of having to first dip the brush into the water, then into the paint, and finally onto the paper develops sequencing skills. Furthermore, painting allows for exploration of the self-creative process while fulfilling the need for sensorial stimulation. After working quietly to create a masterpiece, the child then tidies up the activity, remembering that the paper towel goes in the garbage, the painting goes on the dry rack, and the paint supplies go back on the shelf.
