It is not about smart children, it is about happy children who have the confidence and courage to learn and pursue things dear to their heart. Alexandra Fidel’s @ riglife journal.

Here at Learning Ladder we help the children extend their knowledge and development by extend on the children’s interest a

nd parent input.

In the honeybees room we did this by observing the children showing interest in animals and a few of our families have been going to the zoo. So we took this information and developed a art experience where children engaged in animal print painting.

In addition to the animal tracks, this activity also provided an opportunity to explore paint as a medium. Paint consistency affected their prints and the pressure they applied to the paper affected whether their prints were more defined or faint. Multiple hands-on learning experiences were a part of the fun!
