For your final part of each day of Art Camp, I would encourage you to spend a few minutes reflecting on your day. It helps to close the day of activities, and allows time to think about what you did and didn’t like, things you have done really well at, and things you felt frustrated by, or want to improve on!
Journalling can be tough for little ones, as they don’t know where to start, or don’t enjoy writing yet – thats OK – just allow them the page and a bit of time to doodle, scribble, cut and paste, or colour. You can talk aloud about what you have done together, and you can make notes in your own journal instead.
Here are some simple questions to ask out loud, or in your journals:
- What was your favourite thing you did today?
- What are you proud of?
- What did you find difficult?
- What was the nicest material to work with?
- What would you like to work on another day?
Here are some more fun journal prompts to draw or write around
- Your perfect pet – what is it? what does it look like?
- What if your favourite cuddly toy came alive?
- Is there a secret place in your house or garden where tiny little pets live?
- What wild animal would make a great pet if it was much bigger or much smaller?
- What would you be if you were someone’s pet?
