At our Montessori, we believe every child is an explorer and creator. To nurture this spirit, our children recently enjoyed the “Complete the Drawing” activity.
Each child received half of a picture—like a sun, flower, or aeroplane—and was asked to finish it. What amazed us was their imagination: a half sun became a ball, an aeroplane turned into a rainbow, and many more delightful surprises emerged.
The purpose of this activity was not just drawing, but to:
Encourage creative thinking beyond set patterns.
Strengthen visual perception and observation.
Build confidence and individuality.
Develop focus and problem-solving skills.
By the end, the classroom was filled not just with drawings, but with joy, laughter, and unique ideas. It was a true reminder of the Montessori belief that when children are given freedom, they create wonders.
