    could be in response to an with Puffy Paint. Initially, I did an activity with the children last

    use them? Why have you - Orange Paint
    chosen these strategies? - Yellow Paint
    - Beaded Necklaces Cut
    - Art Smocks
    - Tape
    Implementation:
    1. Children were asked what they wanted to do in the
    creative center and it was a unanimous decision to do
    puffy paint.
    2. In relevance to the upcoming Lunar New Year, I decided
    to create the puffy paint activity using the traditional
    colors used in Lunar New Year to also teach the children
    about it.
    3. I set out the large brown paper on the table and taped it
    down to make sure the paper will not move or shift
    while they are painting on the paper.
    4. I set out the four containers, which each child chose
    themselves, and gave them the respective stirrers.
    5. I asked the children what color they wanted to use and
    told them about the significance of each other while
    they chose.
    6. I gave one child the shaving cream bottle and let them
    press the bottle to release the shaving cream on their
    own unless they wanted me to do it for them.
    7. They mixed the paint and the shaving cream together
    until the mixture was incorporated.
    8. LET THE PAINTING BEGIN!
    2 Teaching Strategies:
    1. Questions: I will use questions to help extend and
    enhance the childrens learning throughout this
    experience such as:
    - Do you know why were using these colors?
    - Do you remember what the RED color means?
    - What colors are used for Lunar New Year?
    - What else should we put?
    - What holiday are we celebrating?

    2. Sensory Engagement: I will use the teaching strategy of


    sensory engagement because the children learn best by
    hands-on experience. They get firsthand experience
    using real objects and they learn best using their senses.
    When they touch the shaving cream, mix the paint and
    shaving cream, use their hands to paint on the large
    paper, and smell the shaving cream they are learning
    and extending their experience.
    Reflection:
    - What went well? Provide Any type of creative/sensory experience is almost always a

    experience and why?
    Child A: The shaving cream is squishy!
    - Did you have to make any
    adaptations or Another aspect of the activity that really worked was the
    modifications? If so, learning aspect. The activity was mainly set to help the children
    what were they? gain a deeper understanding of Lunar New Year, and learn
    - What type of experience about the importance of the various colors that represent Lunar
    might you plan to extend New Year. Learning about this emphasizes diversity and
    on this one? multiculturalism within the classroom but it also allowed the
    children to talk amongst themselves about their own cultures as
    well.
    Despite the success of this activity, the only aspect that did not
    work as well was the beaded necklaces used to make and create
    a firework effect on the paper. They either got stuck or got lost
    within the shaving cream which the children found fun because
    they were able to reach in and get messy with the shaving
    cream, however, if the beaded necklaces were reinforced on a
    popsicle stick or something else in order to allow the children to
    use them without get lost within the container. This is an
    example of what I would like to do differently if I were to
    implement this activity again.
    I learned through this experience that children learn by doing.
    As they are painting, I am telling them about the significance of
    the colors they are using to paint, and oddly enough, the
    children do take the information well as they do remember
    tidbits throughout the day. I also learned and became
    appreciative of art smocks. The first time this activity
    happened, the children and I forgot to put on smocks and our
    shirts were completely covered in puffy paint. As good as it
    smelled, the colors in contrast to the nice shirts they were
    wearing were not exactly happy looking.
    I will be making Chinese Lanterns and constructing the Lunar
    New Year board as an extension.
