Decorating means making something more beautiful by adding colors, patterns, and special touches. You can decorate a card, a box, a picture frame, or even a paper crown. When you decorate, you are a designer, making choices about what looks good and what makes you happy.
Provide plain objects to decorate (paper bags, boxes, paper crowns, masks, picture frames). Offer a variety of embellishments (stickers, stamps, glitter, markers, paint, ribbon, buttons). Let children choose how to decorate. Show examples but do not require copying. Talk about their design choices.
Decorating means making something look more beautiful, more special, or more like you. When you add stickers to a notebook, color a border around a drawing, or glue glitter onto a card, you are decorating. Decorating turns plain things into something wonderful!
When you decorate, you are a designer. A designer is someone who thinks about how things look and makes choices. Which colors go well together? Where should the sticker go? Should the pattern be big or small? Every choice you make changes how the finished piece looks. You are in charge of the design!
You can decorate almost anything. A plain paper bag becomes a puppet when you add a face. A cardboard box becomes a treasure chest with some paint and sparkles. A paper plate becomes a mask with some color and yarn. Even a rock from outside becomes a special keepsake when you paint it. Look at plain, everyday objects and imagine how you could make them special.
There is no right or wrong way to decorate. Some people like lots of colors and sparkles. Others like simple, clean designs. Some people like symmetry, where both sides match. Others like a free, wild look. Your style is part of who you are, and it will keep growing and changing as you create more art. Trust your eyes and your heart, and decorate in a way that makes you smile!
