2.Objective

Some benefits of finger painting are:

- Sensory stimulation: As is known, painting with fingers or using fingers involves multiple senses of infants, such as sight and touch. In this way, children will experience various temperatures, colors and temperatures, which will contribute to their cognitive development and sensory stimulation.

-Development of fine motor skills: When your students or children dip their fingers in the paint and manipulate it on the paper, they will be improving their fine motor skills. In this way, this type of activity will develop dexterity and hand-eye coordination in them, skills that will be essential when later your children need to start activities such as writing, fastening the laces of their shoes, buttons on their shirts, and other activities. everyday.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Have students wear old clothing or a smock, since finger painting with tempera paint will stain fabric.

  • Set out the paint in shallow containers so fingers can be dipped easily, and keep a damp cloth nearby for cleanup between colors.

  • Introduce the activity with calm music before starting, to settle students before they begin the sensory, hands-on task.

Skills covered

  • Fine motor control — students dip and press fingers to fill in an animal outline, building the pincer grip and hand control used later for writing and fastening buttons or laces.

  • Sensory exploration — students experience paint texture and color by touch rather than with a brush or tool.
