Help me give my students create art projects while improving fine motor skills.

My Students

My students are ages 5 to 6 years olds. They come from all different backgrounds and experiences. Due to covid, some of my students didn’t have the opportunity to attend transitional kindergarten or preschool. Therefore, my students experience making friends and learning how to play with peers.

My Project

My students can use these crayons, paint, and other art supplies to help them make a variety of art projects. Art activities assist students with fine motor skills as well as being able to be creative. Art projects allow students to create art that allows them to have self-expression and build self-esteem. Having creative art keeps students interested in school by providing another type of learning experience. Many art projects are thematic and can relate to science, math, and language arts. Art helps students use problem-solving skills while being creative.
