It’s a really amazing writing material!ĭiscovery is an amazing process. This board dries on it’s own and can be used over and over again. Using an ancient Asian style calligraphy brush, we wrote on our magic board. This is a really wonderful writing experience. Give them a try to see how they affect the drawings! Your kids will have lots of fun exploring this new material! Explore Writing with Magic Board What would a tree branch do? Maybe a rock. We used a fir branch, but you are welcome to try several and explore!Įxplore other types of writing materials outside the house. Grab a branch of a tree and use it as a paintbrush! Notice the different type of strokes that are made and how it is harder to pick up paint with waxy leaves. They chose all their own colors and have done an amazing job with this sometimes daunting writing materia Explore Writing with Nature I was astonished at how serious they were about their coloring. I don’t typically give my 3 and 5 year olds permanent Sharpie, but recently I have found a lot of stress relief from adult coloring pages. Setting up this activities at different times of the year is very rewarding especially as your child’s skill increases. We noticed how the paintbrush made wide strokes and different paintbrushes made different strokes. We noticed how to much water makes the paints runny and the color faint. Water colors can be a little tricky to paint with, but the kids love exploring the different colors. (Don’t forget to try out these fun writing materials yourself!) Explore Writing with Paintbrush and Watercolors Opening the kids horizons to more than a pencil and paper has been very rewarding.
For this fun discovery, we tried out several types of writing materials. They observe me writing lists and always want to mimic what I do. Explore Writing Materials with Kidsīoth of my kids have loved writing from an early age. In addition to writing materials, we also talked about different types of art supplies in general. We also talked about which ones were hard or smooth, etc. We talked about how certain materials would make a thin line and others made a thick line.
This was also a fun way to experiment with texture, shapes, and line thicknesses. Writing also helps with language development as children are learning new words and their meaning. This is really great for working with fine motor skills and allowing their creativity to run. Don’t forget to check all the links at the bottom of this post for all the great fine arts posts. Check back next year for more amazing themed posts from many very talented Montessori bloggers.
We have have an amazing year with the 12 Months of Montessori Learning series. Another exciting month of the 12 Months of Montessori Learning! For our focus on fine arts, the kids and I decided to explore writing materials!
