Brincando e Aprendendo – Atividades Lúdicas para Crianças Autistas

Hele lived on a beautiful farm in Minas Gerais, where she loved to play. But one day, Hele faced a big challenge. Her teacher gave her a new coloring book and asked her to stay inside the lines. Hele wanted to do her best, but the task seemed impossible. She felt worried and didn't know how to start. - How will I ever learn to color like this? Hele asked herself.

Hele sat down with her crayons, ready to try. But the lines were squiggly and hard to follow. - Maybe I can do it if I focus, Hele thought. She carefully picked a blue crayon. But no matter how hard she tried, the color went outside the lines. Hele felt sad and put her crayons down. - Why is this so hard? she wondered.

Hele decided to try again, but this time the colors mixed together. She used red, but it turned into purple! - Oh no, now it looks all wrong, Hele sighed. She looked at the messy page and felt like giving up. Her little brother, João, came by and saw her frown. - Do you want to play with the goats instead? João asked.

Hele tried to color once more, but this time, the paper tore. - This isn't working at all! Hele cried. She was about to leave when she saw her friend, Clara, skipping by. - Why don't you try drawing with your finger in the sand? Clara suggested. Hele thought it was a silly idea, but she decided to try. She drew a big sun and felt a little better.

Feeling a bit more hopeful, Hele heard a gentle voice. It was her grandmother. - What's troubling you, my dear? her grandma asked. Hele showed her the coloring book and sighed. - I want to color like everyone else, but it's just too hard, Hele explained. Her grandma smiled warmly and held her hand. - Sometimes, the best art comes from trying in new ways, she said.

Hele thought about her grandmother's words. Maybe she could try something different. She took a deep breath and picked up her crayons again. This time, she imagined the lines were a river, and she was steering her colors like a boat. - I can do this, she whispered to herself. Slowly, she began to fill the page with bright colors.

Hele's colors danced across the page, and her smile grew with each stroke. Her brother and Clara cheered her on. - You're doing it, Hele! João exclaimed. Hele looked at her colorful page and felt proud. - I really can do it, Hele laughed. Her grandma clapped her hands with joy.

With newfound confidence, Hele finished her coloring book. She felt proud of all the colors she used. - I learned so much today, Hele said happily. Her grandma hugged her tightly. - Wisdom comes from trying and learning, she said. Hele knew she could face any challenge with a smile and a crayon.
