Objective:

 Students follow simple 1, 2, 3 directions to create art, while strengthening fine motor skills.

Materials:

Scribble Art by THE K CREW

Crayons or Markers

White Copy Paper Cut to Size that You Prefer

When to Introduce:

I introduce this activity Second Semester in Kindergarten, but as soon as possible in 1st Grade.

How to Introduce:

Distribute the one picture from the 3-ring binder to each student.

Have students use crayons/markers from their personal supplies, but be sure to show them that you have some in the center for when they visit it.

Demonstrate how to follow the simple 3-step directions to create a scribble art picture.

Allow students to create their scribble art picture.

Allow time for students to share their scribble art with classmates.

Discuss center rules/expectations.

Add materials to the Fine Motor Literacy Corner and remind students that when they visit the corner they may do the activity.

Differentiating:

Have students write a simple story for their art picture.

Storage Ideas: 

I cut the pictures down to a preferred size, mounted them on cardstock and then slid them into page protectors.

The pictures are all stored in a 3-ringed binder. 

Students open the rings to remove a picture if they need to, otherwise they work from the binder.

The white paper is stored in a poly-envelope that I bought from Target.
