Puppy Point of View
What does the world look like to pets? Help children understand how others see things, an important step in learning compassion, from a Puppy Point of View.
1. Have you ever looked out of an upstairs window or airplane? Did things below look smaller? Changing your height changes what you see, or your perspective. Imagine if you were shorter. Think about what your baby sister or brother, or a dog or cat, sees.
2. Pretend you are a puppy or other small creature. Sit on the floor or sidewalk and look around. What do you see? Do people, fences, and buildings seem taller? Do you notice different things about them, such as the smell of leather shoes or tree trunk textures? How do you think it feels to be a puppy?
3. Cover your art area with recycled newspaper. Use Crayola® Washable Kid's Paint and So Big Paint Brushes to paint your Puppy Point of View. Include details such as clouds in the sky, looming doorways, or carpet textures. Dry.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
