Peppa pig loves jumping in muddy puddles!

Welcome to Cartoon Character ECA's first session.

The kids had so much fun making the very popular 'Peppa Pig'.

We started off cutting out the head (using our fine motor skills) and then pasting on the face parts (spacial awareness). Then we coloured in peppa pig's dress and put in on a toilet roll (hand-eye co-ordination). The end result was great! The best part was when the kids were allowed to let their Peppa pigs jump in muddy puddles! I'm sure they brought home some very dirty Peppa pigs yesterday! :)

Octopus Fun

We started our craft by cutting out the legs we will need. The children counted how many legs they needed. Learning how to use scissors correctly can also help with developing pencil control skills.Cutting with scissors is considered to be a pre-writing skill.

We then started finger painting the face and body of our Octopus. Process-based art activities that allow children to explore and experiment can help to build creativity. Finger paint is an important part of this process. Unlike a coloring sheet or a cut-and-paste activity that are more finished-project oriented, finger paint is typically more experimental. Finger painting activities allow the children to work with the medium, moving it around, blending it and creating anything from an abstract expression to a family portrait to explore their own creativity.

Making sun catchers!

This week, the kids of ECA made very cool sun catchers!

First they used their strong hands to 'shave off' crayons onto sticky baking paper. Then they practiced their hand-eye coordination and cut around the shapes. Now, you can put them on your windows to catch the sun light!
