Cassie Stephens on Instagram: "It’s been a little chatty in kindergarten so Quiet Critters to the rescue! This idea comes from the amazing @art_with_mia and I have used it for years now! Even older students ask for them to come out. You can make them out of anything from small stuffed animals to sparkly pompoms a#with googly eyes and feet attached and name em after artists like I did! This hack is just one of the many I share in the BIG chapter I have in my book on teaching art to kindergarten.

Cassie Stephens on Instagram: "Got chatty classes that you wish would focus a little (or a lot!) more on the task at hand? Then might I suggest Quiet Critters (shout out to @art_with_mia for this idea!) Even my FOURTH GRADERS asked for these 😳🤣😳and I happily obliged. Here I am introducing them to my kindergarten. Keep in mind ANYTHING can be a quiet critter…so hit those thrift stores for little stuffed animals or action figures. My students loved them so much they drew portraits of them in their free time! Have y’all tried these?" Quiet Critters Classroom, Quiet Critters, Classroom Discipline, Art Docent, Cassie Stephens, Chill Time, Art Teaching, Teaching Preschool, Thrift Stores

Task 1 Quiet Critters act as a positive reinforcement for students who are on task and working hard. These tiny pets will motivate students to want to do their work rather than students feeling that quiet work is a punishment or boring. I strongly believe that a classroom should be filled with energy and student involvement, but there are times when working quietly is appropriate.

Essentially, “Quiet Critters” are pom-poms with googgly eyes and felt feet that act as little noise level monitors. The idea is that they live in a large jar which is soundproof and only come out when it is quiet. Too much noise and they get frightened and go back into the jar.
