How do you encourage children to paint and make models?

Teachers and parents can encourage children to paint and make models by choosing an art project that includes something the child enjoys. Children who love dinosaurs may be more motivated to paint a model of a Tyrannosaurus rex than an assigned task.

Instructors can encourage children to make models and paint by rotating activities in the classroom. Rotation centers that offer painting at one center and clay model making at another provide children with variety that prevents them from getting bored or frustrated quickly, which commonly happens when they are forced to work on an activity for an extended period of time.
