Splashing into Summer: An Art Lesson for Preschool

🌞 Introduction: The Joy of Summer

Welcome, little artists! Today, we are going to dive into the wonderful world of summer! ☀️ Summer is a time for sun, fun, and creativity. It’s a season filled with colorful flowers, bright sunshine, and splashing water. Let's get ready to explore all the amazing things summer has to offer through art!

🎨 Theme: Let's Create a Summer Collage!

Objectives:

• To express creativity by creating a summer-themed collage.
• To identify and appreciate the colors and elements of summer.

🎉 What You'll Need:

• Construction paper (yellow, blue, green, red, and white)
• Safety scissors (with teacher supervision)
• Non-toxic glue sticks
• Markers or crayons
• Magazines with summer images (like beaches, ice creams, and flowers)
• Stickers (starfish, suns, and more!)

👩‍🎨 Lesson Format:

1. Story Time (5 minutes): Begin the lesson by reading a cheerful story about summer adventures—like going to the beach or having a picnic. Engage the children by asking questions about their favorite summer activities.

2. Discussion (5 minutes): After the story, have a discussion about what they love about summer. Encourage them to talk about colors they see during this season and the activities they enjoy.

3. Art Creation (30 minutes):

   • Hand out the materials.
   • Ask the children to create their own unique summer collage. They can cut out pictures from magazines or use their markers and crayons to draw things like beaches, sun, ice cream cones, and flowers.
   • Encourage them to use lots of bright colors to represent the joy of summer!

4. Sharing Time (10 minutes): Once everyone has completed their collages, gather in a circle and let each child share their artwork. Ask them to describe what they made and why it reminds them of summer. This builds their confidence and communication skills!

🌈 Wrap-Up:

To conclude, hang all the collages around the classroom for a "Summer Art Gallery." Remind the children that every artwork tells a story and that they all shared a piece of their summer with one another.

🌟 Remember:

Art is not just about making things look perfect; it's about expressing who we are and the fun we have! Let’s keep celebrating summer through our creativity!

Enjoy your artistic adventure, little ones! Let's make this summer unforgettable! 🎉
