By Shelley Butler An Activity for Preschoolers Drawing and painting can be a wonderful way to explore and express feelings that are often hard to talk about. Use this activity to encourage school-aged kids to create a visual representation of the many faces of love. Curriculum Area Social Emotional and Art Before You Start No Preparation Needed Let's Begin 1. Read together What Does Peace Feel Like? By Vladimir Radunsky and talk about how the kids in the book imagined the tastes, smells, looks, sounds, and feelings of peace. 2. Explore the concept of love in a similar way. Ask, “If you could taste, smell, look at, or hear love, what would it be like?” and “What does love feel like?” 3. Encourage children to pick one concept such as what love might smell like, and create a drawing or painting of the ideas. 4. Proudly display for all to see Furthermore Allow each child to create her own book by adding a new page each week that represents a new facet of love.   Paper for painting and drawing Non-toxic tempera paints Pencils and/or charcoal for drawing Articles and activities listed on this website may be printed for single use.
