Rolling Pin String Painting

Have you tried using a rolling pin to make art? Why not add some string to it and see what amazing artwork you could create!

Nature Play: Printmaking

Let’s make some nature prints! We were inspired by a few friends to make art from nature! Grab some leaves, some paint, a pant roller or a sponge and give it a go!

Sticks: Painting with Sticks

Would you like to paint a lovely “mess” using handmade stick brushes? Grab some sticks from your nature walk, add leaves, sponges, foil or anything that could make an interesting shape on your canvas of choice and start painting!

Nature Play: Nature Weaving

Have you tried nature weaving? If you collect some sticks, leaves, some little cherries (if you find some), follow Ian’s instructions and see what you can come up with!

Mark Making: Home Made Paints

If you’ve run out of paint, not to worry – here’s how to make it at home using salt, flour, water and food colouring!

Mark Making with Veg

You may be quite familiar with potato stamps, but what if we use other vegetables, or even fruit, as stamps.. How about exploring the idea of symmetry by cutting them in half, or simply studying patters? Feel free to try this with any vegetable or fruit!

Mark Making: Frozen Chalk Paint

Having so much fun with colourful cornflour paint here! Cornflour paint is just a mixture of cornflour, water and food colouring, and is great because it dries to chalk… then can just be brushed or washed away!

Mark Making with Herbal Teabags

Have you tired mark-making with tea bags? Herbal tea bags smell amazing and make some lovely colours!

Cardboard Tubes: Threading

How about making your own very large and easy to handle beads, which you can decorate with scrap paper, from cardboard tubes and toilet roll! Simona is also using a string/shoelace to make herself a lovely necklace. This is great fine motor skills practice, so give it a go!
