Blindfolded Drawing
This week's Nutrition Expedition lesson was an eye-opener! We wanted to see what it would be like to draw a picture without the use of our vision.
While they were wearing blindfolds, I instructed the children to draw a picture of themselves without peeking! They had to use their sense of touch to find their paper and crayon, and blindly draw. The results were impressive! We talked about what it means to be blind, and this activity gave them a little insight into what it would be like if they couldn't see. Our eyes are important! The younger age groups (nursery and toddlers) enjoyed playing peek-a-boo with handkerchiefs!
Here are a few Super Sleuth questions for you to ask your child, followed by pictures of our fun activity:
Super Sleuth Questions
1. What does it mean to be blind? (answer: that you can't see, or your eyes don't work)
2. What did you have to do when you were blindfolded? (answer: draw a picture of myself)
