An art lesson for TK B (Kindergarten B) at Al Siddiq International was conducted on Wednesday, 29th April 2026 in the classroom. The activity involved all TK B pupils in a calm yet enjoyable atmosphere. The teacher prepared an activity that not only encouraged creativity but also developed essential basic skills for children’s growth.
This activity aimed to train children’s concentration in following instructions and to develop fine motor skills through paper-folding tasks. Using origami, the children were guided to create a simple 3D umbrella. The activity was designed to help them focus on each step while improving hand–eye coordination.
The lesson began with the teacher inviting the children to recall their previous topic on weather. From the various types of weather they had learned, the discussion was then directed towards rainy weather. The children were encouraged to think together about what is needed when it rains, eventually identifying an umbrella as one of the essential items.
After that, the children began making umbrellas using origami paper. They were given the freedom to choose colours according to their preferences, resulting in unique creations. Working in small groups, the children followed the teacher’s step-by-step instructions to fold the origami into 3D umbrella shapes.
Once the umbrellas were completed, the children continued the activity by attaching their origami creations onto drawing paper that they had previously prepared with a rainy-day theme. This activity helped them connect their artwork with the concepts they had learned, while also providing space to express their imagination.
Through this lesson, the children not only learned to create artwork but also developed patience, the ability to follow instructions, and teamwork skills. The supportive classroom environment boosted their confidence in creating, making the learning process both enjoyable and meaningful.
