Embark on a Colorful Adventure with Dogs and Paul Gauguin in this Preschool Sub Plan!

Calling all preschool teachers! We know how important it is to have engaging and seamless plans for unexpected absences. That's why we've created a captivating sub plan that combines the theme of dogs with the vibrant art of Paul Gauguin. Get ready to unleash creativity and take your students on a colorful adventure filled with wagging tails and artistic inspiration. Let's dive into the world of dogs and explore the mesmerizing art of Paul Gauguin!

Here's a sneak peek of other ideas you can add to the sub plan:

Introduction to Paul Gauguin: Introduce your preschoolers to the imaginative art of Paul Gauguin. Show them examples of his vibrant and expressive paintings, discussing the colors, shapes, and emotions they evoke. Engage their curiosity by asking questions and encouraging them to share their observations.

Dog-themed Art Exploration: Take your students on an artistic exploration of dogs. Provide books, photographs, or stuffed animals featuring different breeds of dogs. Discuss the unique characteristics of each breed and encourage your students to notice the shapes, colors, and textures of their fur. Let their imaginations run wild as they share stories and create their own dog-inspired artwork.

Paw Prints and Patterns: Inspired by Gauguin's use of patterns, invite your preschoolers to create their own paw print patterns. Provide washable paints and paper, and encourage them to dip their palms or fingers into the paint and create colorful patterns reminiscent of dog paw prints. Let them explore different colors and experiment with mixing and layering patterns.

Dog Collage Creations: Channel your students' creativity into creating dog collages. Provide a variety of materials such as colored paper, fabric scraps, buttons, and googly eyes. Encourage them to cut and paste different shapes to create their favorite furry friends. This activity will enhance their fine motor skills and allow them to express their unique artistic vision.

Doggie Tales: Encourage storytelling and language development by reading dog-themed books to your students. Afterward, invite them to create their own stories featuring dogs as the main characters. Provide writing materials or storytelling props to help them bring their tales to life. This activity fosters creativity, imagination, and communication skills.

With this Dogs and Paul Gauguin Sub Plan for Preschool, you can ensure a meaningful and engaging day in your absence. Inspire your students' love for art, nurture their curiosity about dogs, and spark their imagination through creative activities.
