Making My Mark Resource: Digital Participation in the Early Years
At Starcatchers, we want to ensure that more babies and young children 0-5 can make their mark through art. Through arts and creative experiences like music, storytelling, theatre, movement, mark-making, painting, drawing and craft, little ones are: exploring, experimenting, concentrating and getting stuck in, persevering, making choices, expressing their feelings, thoughts and ideas. When a child creates something, whether this be a sound, a movement or a wonderful, colourful splodge on a page, they are learning that they have impact and can make a difference. They are learning that they have a voice. Through arts and creative experiences, babies and young children are learning about their rights!
