Part 2: Art and Craft Activity

Activity: "Colourful Body"

Learning Objectives

By the end of this activity, students should be able to:

1. Recognize the body parts from the story.

2. Develop fine motor skills through hands-on craft activity.

Materials Needed:

1. A4 drawing paper (black or white)

2. Coloured paper in assorted shapes (square, rectangles, circle, semi-circle, etc)

3. Coloured markers

4. Craft glue

5. Optional: decorative foam stickers in assorted shapes

Lesson Procedure

1. **Instructions (5 mins)**: Explain the activity to the children. Show them how to select the body part shapes they want to paste, and guide them in gluing the pieces onto the drawing paper. Show them the sample you prepared earlier as a reference.

2. **Art and Craft Time (20 mins)**: Let the children choose the drawing paper they want to create on (black or white) and guide them as they work on their craft. Encourage them to recall the body parts from the story. As you walk around to check on their progress, don't forget to use a marker to write their names at the back or on the bottom right of the drawing paper.

3. **Review and Closure (5 mins)**: Ask each child to show their "Colourful Body" to the class, ask them questions about it such as "What body part is this?" or "Can you find your leg?" Praise their effort and creativity.

4. **Wash Up (5 mins)**: Guide the children in cleaning up their work area and washing their hands after the craft activity. This is a good opportunity to teach them about cleanliness and responsibility.

- Use clear, simple language and speak slowly.

- Ensure all activities are developmentally appropriate for 2-year-olds. Allow the children to learn at their own pace.

- Provide assistance and positive feedback as needed.

- Use a variety of visual aids and physical activities to keep the students engaged.

- Remember that for 2-year-olds, the focus is on exposure and repetition rather than mastery.

- Make the lesson fun and engaging.

- Reinforce learning through repetition and hands-on activities.

- Be gentle with corrections and offer lots of praise to motivate the students.

- Before the art and craft activity, remind the children to roll up their sleeves and each wear an apron to protect their clothes.

- Communicate with the partner teachers about when to hand out the artwork - either at the end of the class or in the next class.
