The classic crayon resist technique is a perfect way to introduce the magic of art to the little ones. Invite them to draw simple shapes or patterns using crayons, then apply watercolours over their creations. Watch their eyes light up as the colours resist the wax, creating mesmerising artwork.

Encourage storytelling through art by providing your young artists with felt tip markers. Ask them to draw a scene or character inspired by a given theme or story starter. This activity not only hones their fine motor skills but also sparks imaginative narratives.

Take a nature walk and collect leaves, flowers, and pebbles.
Back in the classroom, let the little artists create beautiful nature-inspired drawings using coloured pencils and crayons. This activity fosters a connection to the environment and allows for the exploration of shapes and colours. Add some extra festive magic by turning a pebble into a Snowman, or a leaf into a Christmas Turkey! Gobble Gobble

Harness the expressive power of emojis to teach emotions!
Ask the children to draw different facial expressions using coloured pencils or felt tips. Create a set of emotion cards, helping them recognise and understand feelings through art. This is a great idea for our Self Portrait Project!

Bring out the acrylic paints for an animal painting extravaganza! Use a sharpie or black felt tip pen (draw with a pencil first to avoid mistakes) to draw your favourite animal. This activity not only introduces them to basic painting techniques but also enhances their knowledge of animals.
