How to get 3yrs old preschool kids to paint |Painting routine for preschool kids (Cameroon preschool)

 Hello welcome to the blog. I'm Clarisse (Rissa) and I am a wife, mom and preschool teacher. I teach 2-4years and I have 40 students in my class to be precise.

Painting is one of the major subjects/ activities we do in preschool and in this blog post, I will be showing you how the process looks like for us.

Drawing in kids Painting book

First of all, we draw on the kids painting books and they color, with our assistance ofcourse

We draw following the theme of month which in this case was The Family and the Home. The teacher has to draw an item that reflects the theme of the month. Anything that has to do with family and home. It can be a house, a family (dad,mom,kids), or any kitchen utensils like pot,etc. It has to reflects the theme of the month, hence I drew a Sofa.

What we use to paint.

This is the paint we use.

We pick a color and carefully mix in a little bit of water using the painting brush.

How kids paint.

After drawing in the books of all 40 kids(Tired), then we organize a day for painting.

Here is how it looks like.

I have to work with each kid individually because I have to hold their hands and direct them so they don't destroy their books or play with paints.

Next, after each kid finished painting, we take the books outside to sun so the paint gets dry quickly.

Well that's how we do it. I hope you enjoy this post.
