Year 1 and Year 2
In these years we try to develop hand to eye coordination by developing the ability to hold and use simple tools.
-
Encourage your son/daughter to colour in colouring pages - you can find all sorts of different types of pictures on just about any of your son/daughters favourite cartoon characters. Get them to show you how they can keep the colour inside the lines and how they don't leave any spaces.
-
As a finishing touch, get them to show you how they can cut out the picture using scissors.
-
Don't forget to show off their work! A few fridge magnets can quickly turn your refridgerator into a pride of place Art gallery that your child will love because it means their work is perfect!
Year 1 through to Year 6
Encourage your child to play with Lego, it is a very effective learning toy. It helps to develop hand to eye coordination, problem solving and encourages imagination. All 3 of these skills are the building blocks of Design and Tecnology.
