About this Image
This pretend-play girl artist is ready to create a colorful picture at her easel. Children can spot the paintbrush, palette, canvas, and the artist’s focused, happy expression. It is a fun choice for preschoolers and early elementary children who enjoy art, dress-up, and make-believe jobs. Invite your child to name the colors they would place on the palette before coloring the painting. A parent or teacher can extend the activity by asking the child to tell a short story about what the girl artist is painting. Try this after coloring: For a quick roleplay, let the child pretend to hold a brush and announce what the girl artist will paint first, next, and last. After coloring, provide paper and invite the child to make a tiny self-portrait, then name the colors and art tools used.
