Helping Hands

 
Engaging in art making 
promotes in children the ability to 
focus and concentrate on the task at hand. 

With the parent/caretaker's support, young artists explore freely, leading the way to  discovering new possibilities with the different materials.





 
 

A helping hand offers suggestions for restoring
the tops of trees on this proud young artist's 
carefully built farm. 










The parent and care giver provide both physical and emotional support for young artists
as they learn and discover through 
different materials. 

At times the care giver may actively engage in the process, while in other instances merely being present offers this support. In this supportive environment young children develop a sense of mastery and build self-esteem.
