Babies – Me, Myself and I

This week in baby room we focused on ourselves and recognizing our faces and our friends faces. Firstly, we looked at ourselves in mirrors, smiling and watching our responses and reactions even giving ourselves a kiss. We then used the mirrors to help us paint some self-portraits. We enjoyed exploring skin toned coloured paints and explored painting with brushes and our hands and fingers, enjoying the slippery texture. We then looked for our pictures underneath some flour. We used toothbrushes and paint brushes to dust and move the flour around the trays revealing our pictures or pictures of our friends. We had lots of fun using our gross and fine motor skills when using the different brushes strengthening our hand and finger movements.
