Introduction

Toddlers & First Year Students (Aged 1½ to 3½ Years)

The toddler and first year students painted the vibrant backgrounds using sponges and large roller brushes. The figures and smaller details were drawn by teachers or created using stencils to outline shapes, while the children actively participated through collaging, finger painting, palm printing, and stamp painting.

Second Year Students (Aged 3½ to 4½ Years)

The second year children drew the animal figures on their own with guided support from their teachers. Where necessary, stencil cutouts were used to help form shapes and outlines.

Third Year Students (Aged 4½ to 6 Years)

The third year students worked independently under the guidance of their teachers, demonstrating creativity, accuracy, and self-expression.
