Creativity
Center
This
center includes typical art supplies such as a variety of paper,
utensils, scissors and glue and other interesting mediums such as
clay, felt, tissue paper, yarn, and more. All tools are properly
labeled with a picture and print to enable children to be
responsible for the supplies they use. A camera will also be
available in this center to encourage the children to explore
photography as a means of creative expression as well as a tool to
be used for documenting children’s creations that may not be
able to be saved, such as play dough creations. Set a a display
area where children can show off their creations. Have an art
exhibit!
