Activity: Little Puppets on my Fingers!

What is needed for this art activity? Is it a pair of gloves? Is it lots of shiny sequins? Is it scary wiggly eyese? Is it cut-outs of clothes?

No. No. No. No.

This art activity just need children to express their creativity freely. Yeah!

For parents:

Using a range of different art materials, this activity aims to practice young children's fine motor skills. These materials included gloves, felts, wiggly eyes and sequins of different shapes, sizes and colours. Some of these materials were very fine and it required the children to exercise great patience and good eye-hand coordination to pick them up and paste on the gloves independently. This was espcially so for the much younger children. So here is a big pat on all their back!

Not only that, this activity also encourages the children to be as creative as possible. The child could select various art materials provided and used them to make their own finger puppets. Needless to say, the children perfectly displayed their creativity in many possible ways. One look at the end products, and you will know why.

In a nutshell, I encourage young children to learn concepts and to develop holistically through their acive participation in a wide range of learning experiences.

Cheers,
Angeline
