I teach a class of 4 year olds twice a week. They are just a wonderful group of little ones. We often do tons of sensory activities and we use the 35 minutes I have with them very well. For this drawing activity I had all kids, all 17 of them, on my rug with a clipboard and a sharpie, yes, a sharpie. I talked extensively about how we behave and do not behave with a sharpie. Then, step by step I demonstrated, as they followed, how to draw a snowman; while all along asking what comes next? what comes next". When we finished we turned the paper over and did it all over again. This time a few kids took off and did not wait for me to cue each new part.
