They are fun and easy to create with a little creativity! This week we are sharing a set of preschool crafts made by August, a preschool in Washington, DC.
August is a preschool with a little bit of everything. It’s a preschool for kids who live in the DC area, but it also has a preschool for kids in other parts of the country. The children of the preschool are part of a preschool-preparatory program that has a lot of kids going through this whole learning process.
August is the youngest of four children in the preschool, and she has a lot of extra stuff in her room. She has a ton of supplies. One of them is a “crafts” bin with a bunch of different projects, crafts, and toys. She has a lot of different materials to work with. One of the projects is a mini diorama of a house.
August’s room is like a mini home in her imagination. Her room is actually more of a set of four rooms at once. The walls are covered with a giant stack of art supplies and things that she might use. On top of the walls is a large white board with all kinds of paper and supplies to do her crafts. She has a set of markers and a bunch of different crayons and paints.
What I love most about August is her ability to imagine worlds. She has built a room with shelves full of supplies and art supplies. A door with a large mirror on the other side allows her to see her surroundings from a new perspective.
She also has a big set of scissors, a bottle of nail polish, and a box of stickers and markers. Some of these items look like they are just there for decoration, but that doesn’t make them any less useful.
I often tell parents that their child is a year behind in their schoolwork. I mean, that’s a really small number of years, but it’s enough to make me wonder if they are just picking on me. I mean, the fact that they are picking on me is kind of a sign of their own lack of skill. The same goes for crafts.
I’m not saying that kids shouldn’t have crafts. I’m saying that as the number of years they are behind increases, so does their ability to complete them. The thing to remember is that there are other things that they can do besides being lazy and not doing anything. Crafts and schoolwork are great ways to learn new things and get some basic skills down. As for the nails and stickers, those are just there to make your child’s hands look a little cleaner.
That’s true. I think that a lot of people are over-thinking this issue. One of the reasons why there are so many crafts classes is because there are multiple ways to learn something. Kids can learn how to paint or how to read or how to play a musical instrument or they can learn something that they just enjoy. And in all of those cases, it’s not about “laziness” or “not doing anything.” It’s just learning.
Like the paint-painting example, if you’re really good at things like painting, then you can do it for a long time and not have to do anything else. But if you’re not, you have to do it. So in that way, there are just as many ways to learn how to paint (or anything else) as there are ways to learn how to read or play a musical instrument or learn how to paint.
