Painting Activity 🎨
You don’t need a paintbrush to enjoy painting!
Look around your home and see what you can find. Everyday objects can become creative tools for little artists. ✨
Using different objects allows children to experiment with the marks, patterns and textures they can create, while giving them the freedom to explore in their own way.
Keeping it child-led lets children choose what they’d like to use and how they want to create. There’s no right or wrong way, just an opportunity to explore, experiment and have fun!
What could you find at home to paint with? 👀
