🎨 All About Me – Our Family Peg Dolls 🎨
Today we enjoyed a lovely family-themed creative activity as part of our All About Me theme. 💕
Before we got our paintbrushes out, we spent some time talking about our families and the people who are special to us. We chatted about how families can all look different and that there is no one “right” type of family. Some families may have lots of people, some may be smaller, and families can be made up of parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, pets and other special people we love. ❤️
The Munchkins then chose their own peg dolls and got busy painting their family members, thinking carefully about their different features.
The bigger munchkins added in eyes, noses and mouths, with each Munchkin making their dolls unique and personal to their own family.
It was lovely listening to all the conversations as they painted and hearing the Munchkins proudly talk about the people who are important to them. 🥰
This activity encouraged so much learning through play, including fine motor skills, creativity, language development, recognising similarities and differences, talking about relationships and developing a positive sense of identity and belonging. 🌈
Most importantly, it was a beautiful reminder that every family is special and every family is unique. ❤️🏡✨
