Toddler Activity

Introduction

The activity I chose is a creative expression art project called “vegetable stamps.” The link to this

Summary of the Activity

To begin, allow the children the chance to explore the halves of fruits and vegetables

before stamping. Engage in conversation about the color of the fruits and vegetables, the textures

that the stamps are leaving on the paper, and the children’s individual art pieces. For this art

activity to be age appropriate, the children should be free to explore independently and complete

an open-ended art project with no expectation of the finished product. This activity aligns with

the DAP strategies because the CDC states that toddlers at the age of 18 months should be able

to, “say several single words”, “like to hand things to others as play”, “point to show others

something interesting” (2021). All of these milestones are easily achievable throughout this

activity for the toddlers.

This activity aligns with the PILES domains because it touches upon several of the

domains. This activity works the Physical Domain because the toddlers are grasping the fruits

and vegetables and working their fine motor and hand eye coordination by grasping the object,

dipping it in paint, and stamping it on the paper. This activity aligns with the Intellectual Domain

because the children are exploring the shapes and colors of the stamps on their paper. This

activity aligns with the Language Domain because the children are using single word phrases to

describe their art and its process. And lastly this activity aligns with the Social Domain because
