Most children around age 4 are intrigued by drawing shapes- circles, triangles and squares. So, today, I brought in different kinds of rulers for tracing various shapes. Apart from the regular rulers one can buy, we used (scratched) cd's to draw circles. Furthermore, I cut out cardboard (cornflakes box) in moon shapes.
The young artists used pens to draw the outlines and placed their shapes on the paper. Some decided that the shapes should overlap, creating new shapes within. Then, they used watercolor to paint their designs.
This is, by the way, a nice project for home. Give pens/markers and rulers or old cd's, and if you don't use watercolor at home, the kids can draw with crayons.
