0-7 Years
Calling all young artists!
Before you begin, ask a trusted adult to read through the instructions with you.
Step 1
1. First, what are children’s rights?
Rights are rules that help all children feel happy and cared for. Some of your rights are to play, to learn, to be healthy, and to say how you feel.
All children have rights!​​​
Step 2
2. Be yourself!
One of your rights is to be yourself! Think about what makes you special.
How do you show who you are? How do you let others see this? Is it easy or hard?
When you think of health, what comes to mind?
Do you feel listened to when you talk about how you feel or what you need to stay healthy?
Who helps you feel cared for and healthy in your life? Can you tell us more about the people in your life that are special to you?
What activities help you take care of your health and allow you to show who you are? This can be sports, arts, play, whatever you choose!
​
Step 3
3. Make your art!
Now it is your turn to turn this into art! You can paint, draw, colour, take pictures and videos, sing, or dance — any art you like, in your own way! If you'd like, you can ask an adult to write down your ideas.
​
Note for caregivers: When helping artists write down their ideas, listen closely to their words. Record their thoughts exactly as they express them! Remember the power of their voice!
Step 4
4. Tell us about it!
After you make your art, can you tell us about it? How does your art show who you are? How did this activity make you feel? Can you tell us about your art?
Step 5
5. Show us your art!
Ask your grown up to help you submit your art and your story about your art. They can submit it to the Landon Pearson Centre by using the "Submit Your Art" page on this website!
