In order to reinforce name recognition we did some relief painting. Thank you to the internet ( someone on Pinterest! of course) for this wonderful idea!
First I taped off her name with my favorite stuff in the world: Post-It Labeling and Cover Up Tape! It is easier to peel off than a Post It and holds up to quite a bit of paint abuse. You can also write on it with any medium and it won't run/smudge!
After taping off her name I just let her go at it with paints, brushes, and fingers!
After it was dry she was able to help me take off the tape. It was like I'd done a magic trick! Suddenly, out of the Pollock-esque work of art, her name became visible. Amazing!
Skills:
Letter recognition
Name recognition
Materials:
Finger paint
Tape
Butcher paper
Paint brushes or (preferably) FINGERS!
Learn from our mistakes:
Be sure to wait until the paint dries before you take the tape off! I ripped our first try at this right in half! Oops.
