Welcome to Fifty Things Friday

Every Friday we will focus on one of the activities featured in the ‘50 Things to do before you’re 5’ app. This week it’s time to discover ‘Mini Artist’

#Activity 20

Painting and drawing allow children to focus on an open-ended task, which they have chosen. The freedom to choose what, where, when, how and why. They will have fun, find ways to express themselves and learn about cause and effect.

Making marks outside allows children to try BIG strokes and brush marks. Using water on a warm day means that your child can use a paint brush and bucket, a spray bottle filled with water or sponges and a bowl of water to make long lines or cover large areas.

Interacting with children while they are playing is an investment in their future.
