Welcome, little artists! Today, we're going to embark on a colorful journey into the world of shapes, specifically focusing on something called concentric circles. But before we dive into our art, let's have a little fun imagining and exploring!
Gather around as I tell you a story about a wise old turtle named Tilly who lives in a sparkling pond filled with beautiful colors. One sunny day, Tilly spotted something magical happening in the water.
As Tilly gazed upon the surface of the pond, a tiny pebble fell in with a soft plop. Suddenly, ripples formed around the pebble, creating beautiful circles. "Look at those concentric circles!" Tilly exclaimed. She noticed how each circle grew bigger and wider but stayed perfectly round.
“Just like the colors of a rainbow,” Tilly thought, “each ring of water is special, one inside the other.” She imagined each circle as a different color: red, blue, yellow, and green. They danced together in the water, mesmerizing all the little fish swimming below.
Just like in Tilly's pond, concentric circles can be found all around us! They can be seen in tree rings, ripples in water, and even in some yummy treats like cupcakes or pizzas!
Let's make our own concentric circles! We’ll use vibrant paints and paper to explore this fascinating shape. Get ready to unleash your creativity and create your own magical masterpiece, just like Tilly’s pond!
Now that we've warmed up our imaginations with Tilly’s story, are you ready to grab your brushes and start painting our very own concentric circles? Let’s get colorful and have some fun! 🎨✨
By starting the lesson with an engaging story, we capture the children's attention and introduce them to the concept of concentric circles in a creative and relatable way, setting the stage for an exciting art activity.
