Activities

 

At Scribbles, we take pride in nurturing children’s creativity and self-expression. Recently, the children explored their own interpretations of Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers. This activity allowed them to learn about van Gogh’s life and work, fostering an appreciation for art and its history. Learning about influential figures like van Gogh not only inspires creativity but also broadens children’s cultural awareness and helps them understand how art can express emotions and tell stories.

​

In addition to art, we actively support the development of children’s literacy skills. We encourage them to practice writing their names, a fundamental step in building confidence and preparing for future academic learning. This helps strengthen their fine motor skills, letter recognition, and early writing abilities. We also focus on phonics, which lays the foundation for reading by helping children understand the sounds that letters make.

Beyond literacy, we engage children in activities that deepen their understanding of the world and the people around them. For example, the children recently enjoyed learning about hospitals and the importance of staying healthy. They explored what doctors and nurses do and engaged in imaginative roleplay, pretending to take on these roles. This not only sparked meaningful conversations about their own experiences but also encouraged empathy, problem-solving, and social interaction.

​

We also love to provide opportunities for sensory exploration, as children thrive when they can get messy and experiment with different textures. Each day, they explore a new sensory material, which helps stimulate their curiosity, develop their fine motor skills, and enhance their understanding of the world through hands-on experiences. These activities support creativity, learning, and fun all at once!
