### Introduction (10 minutes)
1. **Greeting and Warm-Up Activity:**

- Tell the students that today they will be drawing and decorating their very own crowns.
### Instruction (10 minutes)
1. **Step-by-Step Drawing:**
- Provide each child with a blank piece of paper and a pencil.
- Demonstrate on a large sheet or board:
- Start by drawing a horizontal oval shape (the base of the crown).
- Above the oval, draw a series of connected triangles (the points of the crown).
- Add small circles or jewels at the tips of the triangles for decoration.
- Optional: Include additional details like lines or shapes to represent more jewels or decorations.
2. **Guided Practice:**
- Walk around the classroom to assist students as needed.
- Encourage children to be creative with the shapes and decorations they add to their crowns.
### Activity (15 minutes)
1. **Coloring:**
- Once they finish drawing, distribute the crayons, colored pencils, or markers.
- Guide the pupils on how to choose different colors to make their crowns vibrant and beautiful.
- Remind students to color within the lines to practice fine motor control.
2. **Decorating (Optional):**
- If available, provide glitter, stickers, sequins, or other decorative items along with child-safe glue.
- Supervise as students carefully glue these items onto their crowns to add sparkle and texture.
### Conclusion (10 minutes)
1. **Show and Tell:**
- Allow each student a moment to present their crown to the class.
- Ask questions to encourage them to talk about their creative choices (e.g., "Why did you choose these colors?" or "What do you like best about your crown?").
2. **Wrap-Up:**
- Praise the children for their hard work and creativity.
- Optionally, display the students' crowns on a classroom bulletin board for everyone to admire.
3. **Closing Song:**
- End with a cheerful goodbye song to close the lesson.
### Assessment:

- Assess fine motor skills through their ability to draw and color within the lines.
- Note creativity and individuality in their crown designs.
### Extensions:
- Read a storybook about kings and queens.
- Plan a pretend play session where students can wear makeshift crowns and role-play as royalty.
