Little Hands Art #3 - The nature cut and glue project

These days, my son Rithik is big on PROJECTS....

I was once trying to engage him and he was not interested in  "coloring" or "tracing", so I told him that we were making a "project" and from that day he doesn't color or pain anymore.... he works on "Projects"....

Here is his very first project....

I took some pieces of construction paper and drew some objects like Sun, birds and flowers and let him cut.... The cutting did not go very well so I ended up cutting a few items for him. 

Then I handed him crayons and helped create a "blue print" for the project.... as you can see, the birds have really big legs.... so cute... 

Lastly, I handed him a glue stick and let him stick the cutouts on the "blue print" to make a picture....

Here is the proud artist with his newly created masterpiece... He proudly displayed it on the refrigerator in the weekend and then took it to school on Monday where the teacher displayed it on the wall for a week... He couldn't be happier with the appreciation and encouragement... since that day, he wants to create many more projects....

Try this at home and no matter what the end results are, be sure to praise the child and proudly display it around the house... the simple act of encouragement means a lot to the little kids ...

Until next time,
