We Decorate Our World #7 - Face and Body Decorations
This week the Water group began exploring face and body decorations used by cultures around the world. On Monday, I showed the children pictures of people from various cultures with face or body decorations. As the children looked at the pictures, I noticed that the they would giggle and laugh because the people in the pictures looked funny to them. So I explained to the children that the designs on the people from each picture have special meanings and we should show our respect by being caring with our words and actions. After reflection, we were able to express our opinions in a way to show how we have become more knowledgeable of others by showing respect and appreciation with our words. After looking through the pictures, the children eagerly awaited to paint their faces.

ReplyDeleteTheo enjoyed talking about face painting at home, especially the different animals his friends chose to have painted. He didn't want to wash it off!
