The children have been given the opportunity to access scissors independently within the playroom. They are aware of the importance of caring the scissors safely and returning them to their designated cup when not in use. We are extremely proud of all of the children following the safety rules and becoming independent individuals.

Following the success of the access to scissors we have introduced a self serve painting station.

Child M is demonstrating how to prepare her apron and collect her paint, brush and paper before becoming creative outdoors.

The painting station is a big hit with all of the children.

The pump action recycled hand wash bottles are the perfect size for little hands to dispense the appropriate amount of paint for each piece of artwork.

Child C spent a great deal of time mixing his colours. Which led to detailed conversations about what colours he would make.

Child J became excited to share a “rainbow” he created by mixing his paint.

Child N concentrated very hard to successfully hang her completed painting up to dry using a washing line and pegs. “I do it myself”
