Learning to Sticker
Here's What To Do
1
Gather things that are sticky on one side, like sticky notes, tape, or stickers.
2
Help me peel a sticker or tear a piece of tape. Show me how to place the sticky side against the surface of another piece of paper.
3
Let me experiment with sticking the stickers, tape, or sticky notes myself.
Put PEER Into Action
P
Pause:
- Sit with me at a workspace free of distraction. Take a deep breath before we begin.
E
Engage:
- "Can you use your fingernail to pick up the sticker?"
- "Can you put the sticky side down so the sticker stays on the paper?"
E
Encourage:
- Stickers require a lot of fine motor control and may be tricky at first. Let me make mistakes, that's how I learn!
- If you are using a sheet of stickers, peel away the part of the sticker sheet that's outside of the actual stickers. This makes it easier for me to peel the stickers myself.
R
Reflect:
- Did it seem like I felt proud that I was able to make art myself?
Not quite ready?
Hand the sticker to me facing the right way and see if I can place it myself.
Ready for more?
Encourage me to make an artwork with stickers. Ask me to make a pattern or scene with the stickers.
As your child masters this skill...
They will be able to make art with stickers.
