This penguin is a wonderful winter craft for our preschoolers. Creative art and crafts are important components to the MCP curriculum. The creative art space in our room is provided for the children to make their own personal choices. There is a wide variety of materials for them to use as they please. Paintings, drawings and collages all look different. It is an opportunity and space for the children to explore and enjoy the artistic process.
Crafts are very different. We are working on listening and following teacher directions. All the children receive the same pieces. With slight variations, all the final products look very much the same. As the teacher gives directions, we are reinforcing basic concepts. We discuss shapes, colors and sizes. We use positional words like top, bottom, inside and between.
