Enhance the creativity in your children by allowing them to create characters for a story. If you have young boys they may wish to create things like dinosaurs and creatures from long ago, or your young maiden may prefer to make a doll or a playmate for her doll.
 
Possibilities are endless when you unleash the creative mind. I encourage you to give very little direction on what to make, only direct in how to assemble. Leave the rest to their creativity.

This simple art project can help children grasp the concept of size and proportions. The key here is to experiment with several size jars and many different ideas to fill it. In doing so your child can learn simple proportion and relativity.

Can a ship really fit into a jar? How many jellybeans can fit in a jar? I would encourage you to also experiment with the real jar. Measure ahead of time bowls of water. Some bowl should fill the jar perfectly, some should not even come close and others can overflow the rim. Your child will have fun choosing which bowl to try next.

A Full Jar

What to use :

1. A drawing of a bottle or jar Crayons,
2. markers, or colored pencils

What to do :

1.  Draw the outline of a jar or bottle.
2.  Now think about what you might put in that jar that would really fill it. Use your imagination—-think of something that wouldn’t usually be found in a jar.
3.  Now you are ready to draw. Make sure it fills the jar
4.  Try it again with a different jar and a different filler
