Explain

Explain that children are going to learn about making things:

  • How to make things.
  • The difference between imagination and reality.

Model

Ask children: Why do we make things? (for fun, for a school project, etc.) Ask children: What are some things we can make? (drawings, paintings, sculptures, etc.) Say: Art is a fun and creative way of expressing your ideas, thoughts, and opinions. What are some things we use to make arts and crafts? (crayons, scissors, glue, etc.)


Apply

Play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature. After the first game, ask children about their personal experiences with making arts and crafts. After the second game, encourage them to share a story about their favorite arts and crafts product and how they made it.


Close

Ask children: Look around the classroom. Could you make anything with the things that are in the room right now? What could you make? Say: One of the great things about art is that there is never a wrong or right answer. Art means different things to different people. Think about what you would like to say using art.
