Encourage your child to express himself freely and creatively using art materials.
Have a box with items such as crayons,markers,construction paper,fabric scraps,
feathers, safety scissors, and glue sticks for your child to use creatively.
Give your child a large paint brush and a bucket of water to “paint” the sidewalk.
Children sometimes express their emotions through drawing and painting. Feelings
of happiness, sadness or anger may be evident in a child’s artwork.
Pretend play gives children the opportunity to use their imaginations and express
creativity. It also provides a safe way for them to express feelings that may be troubling
them, such as feelings about a new baby or worries about night monsters.
Find opportunities for your child to learn about the way other cultures express
themselves through song. Listen to a radio station that plays music from a culture
different than you own.
