Little Hands

Little Hands with Kylie and Robyn

Activities

1. Calming Drawing

This easy line and mark making activity combined with the guided simple breathing technique will help children create their own sense of calm. It is an exercise that is suitable for all ages but particularly suitable for the very little and can be done anywhere using basic materials.

2. Pancakes

In this lesson we will engage with air drying magiclay, using techniques that are simple and fun to get those little hands moving. Adding watercolour to the mix to bring colour and delight to the senses.

3. Paint and Print

This lesson is about colour and the simple effects that are created when wet paint marks are printed onto paper. The children will be encouraged to explore the results they make and to confidently experiment with different colours, marks and paper positions.

4. Rainbow and Clouds

This lesson adds a new technique when using Magiclay, slowly teaching our littlest learners simple techniques that they will be able to use over and over again. Activate those fine motor skills whilst creating one of the first images children draw, the rainbow.

Adding Magiclay and paint to the activity engages more of the senses which means more fun!
