Instructions for Little Farmer Rooster Art Activity
- Sketch an outline of the rooster on an A4 sheet.
- Encourage your child to dip the fork in paint and drag it on the sheet to create wave-like patterns.
- Encourage them to repeat the process with other colours. It is okay for them to overlap the colours.
- Once done, paint the pointy comb on the rooster’s head.
- Dip the other end of the fork in red paint and paint the beak and the wattle for the rooster.
- Use the pointy end to paint the feet.
The rooster art is ready!
Encourage your child to describe the rooster they have created. Let them identify the colours by their names. Go ahead and create other farm animals in this manner. Let them have a farm of their own!
This activity is a great way to exercise your preschooler’s fine motor muscles. As they paint freely with the forks, they develop their coordination.
