We love an excuse to paint in this house and pulling in opportunities to explore other area's of development makes painting even more fun. This term at home I am trying to see where little man is with his maths. An activity like this is great as we can talk about size, animal prints and their sounds.
Resources:
paint
paper
paper plate or tray
animals or objects in two sizes
Step 1: Show the child/ren what you have set up on the table. This is a good opportunity to point out the objects size, colour or purpose maybe
Step 2: Sit back and observe as they start to explore the different prints they can make using the paint.
Step 3: Every so often point out what you have seen on the paper. For example 'Look J, Look at the foot prints. Who made the big prints?'
Step 4: For older children you may wish to help them make a pattern.
