7. SKILLS AND ABILITIES
EARLY CHILDHOOD ENVIRONMENTAL RATING SCALE (ECERS) 20 - ART
First
Using art materials
allows children to
practice important fine
motor skills, which are
necessary in later
challenges, such as
learning to write and
being successful in
many self-help skills.
Second
Art allow children to
experiment with shapes,
lines, and space, and
the combinations of
colors; in this way, art is
like science and math.
Third
Art allows children to
develop their own
creative expression, by
being able to use
materials in a process
that they control and
make a product only
they could have
created.

8. TEACHER’S ROLE
ITERS-R ART 17- 5.3
Staff guidance is import in helping toddles successfully and properly use art materials. Young toddlers
may be more interested in finding out what the play dough tastes like rather than squeezing and rolling
it around on the table. Therefore, staff supervision and guidance is needed to show children how to use
these new and interesting materials.
