It is this communication through art that leads to communication through the written word. Drawing - Using a good quality wax crayon seems to be the favorite choice among kindergartners. However some kindergartners like pencils because they can achieve more detail with them. Painting - Tempera paint that is too thick to run is what most kindergartners prefer. Clay - This is a wonderful art material for kindergartners.
Some children start with a lump of clay and make their form by pulling out parts from the clay.
Other children make a form by taking separate parts and putting them together. Both ways are perfectly normal. Another alternative to clay is bread dough clay, which can be baked in the oven for hardening. Mix ingredients and knead into a workable dough. You can add food coloring for color.
