Clay Enrichment a Highlight at JPA

Thursday, 5 December, 2024 - 11:04 am


cljuqav5qkcejfndyyqsha.jpgOur preschool’s clay enrichment class has become a highlight of the week! Led by the talented Ms. Paris Labran, this workshop offers a hands-on experience that fosters creativity, fine motor development, and sensory exploration. Using real clay provides children with a rich, tactile medium that encourages imaginative play while building foundational artistic skills.

Each week, Ms. Paris thoughtfully designs provocations to inspire the children. They’ve explored rolling clay with rolling pins, cutting it into shapes, and incorporating natural materials like rocks and twigs to create textures and patterns. Loose parts, such as glass beads or mosaic tiles, are added to encourage open-ended design, and the introduction of colored clay brings a delightful element of discovery and experimentation.

Beyond the artistic benefits, working with clay promotes hand-eye coordination, strengthens fingers for writing readiness, and nurtures a sense of accomplishment.

We’re thrilled to see the joy and pride on their faces as they transform simple materials into imaginative works of art. Thank you, Ms. Paris, for your dedication and creativity in crafting this enriching experience for our young learners!
