In the month of November, the Toddlers engaged in a rich creative art experience using reflective discs, balls, and paint. Sheri began by modelling how to spin the reflective discs, demonstrating the movement and the colourful patterns that emerged. After watching closely, each child was invited to try for themselves.
As the Toddlers spun their own discs, they explored cause and effect—noticing how the speed and direction of the spin changed the way the paint moved and blended. This hands-on investigation supported their fine motor development, strengthened hand–eye coordination, and encouraged creative expression as they discovered the unique patterns they could produce.
Working side-by-side, the children engaged in moments of collaboration and shared excitement. They compared their colourful swirls, watched one another’s discs in motion, and exchanged joyful reactions as patterns emerged. Their
natural curiosity was evident as they experimented, made predictions, and delighted in the visual changes created through movement.
In a connected activity, the children also explored rolling reflective discs and balls through paint on a large sheet of brown paper. As the materials travelled across the surface, they left vibrant trails and lines.
The Toddlers showed clear enthusiasm as they followed the objects’ paths, observing how different movements produced different effects. This sensory-rich exploration deepened their understanding of motion, texture, and colour while allowing them to enjoy the messy, expressive nature of the experience.
