Our educators love to teach our littles skills for learning confidence. Confidence provides a great sense of self-awareness and self-understanding. This is a critical learning moment in a young child’s life. Focusing on self-awareness improves self-esteem, allows kids to become good problem solvers, cultivates resiliency and helps them to realize and correct mistakes. In this activity, our toddlers were given mirrors to look at themselves and make funny faces! Our educators made faces as well and spoke about the different types of emotions we show on our faces and what they mean. They were also given the opportunity to make their own emotions on pieces of paper by building different faces! Our educators are providing our children with the opportunity to create different emotions on paper using cut out pieces of smiles, frowns, happy eyes, eyes with tears and more! This allows our toddlers to visually see emotions which will help them when trying to identify the feelings of others in their lives. They also really enjoyed a wonderful self care teeth brushing activity!
