Paper Towel Art & Child Development Mini-Lesson

The Paper Towel Art & Child Development Mini-Lesson is a great little activity to use as a beginning of the year or end of the year when you need a little something to fill in those odd days! This is a hand-on activity that can be used with middle or high school students with connections to child development or it can be done with littles where the older students are helping and observing what is actually taking place developmentally. Either way it is a very engaging, fun activity to do with students of all ages!

Crayon Life Lessons

Who knew something as simple as crayons could teach some important life lessons? The Crayon Life Lessons teaches students a variety of lessons about acceptance, diversity and uniqueness that can be used in all settings from home, to school, to work in a unique way. I used it in my child development classes, but it could be used in any class as an enrichment activity!

Children & Art

There are many aspects of children and art that can be incorporated into a child development class. When exploring Children & Art, you can look at everything from its benefits to development, to why it needs to be open-ended and focus on the process over the product to how we talk about it with children. This lesson and corresponding activities infuses all of the above! Have a look to see how you can include children & art into your repertoire!
