This is a great, messy sensory activity which is fun and encourages exploring mark making, patterns and textures.<\/p>\n

Learning Outcomes<\/u><\/p>\n

As I play and learn, I enjoy exploring interesting materials for writing and different ways of recording my experiences and feelings, ideas and information. LIT 0-21b<\/p>\n

Within real and imaginary situations, I share experiences and feelings, ideas and information in a way that communicates my messages. LIT 0-26a<\/p>\n

I have the freedom to discover and choose ways to create images and objects using a variety of materials. EXA 0-02a<\/p>\n

ASN Milestones<\/u><\/p>\n

Demonstrates control of preferred tool for writing to create patterns and sequences that convey meaning<\/p>\n

Uses fingers, hands and other media or tools to overwrite pre-written shapes and words<\/p>\n

Produces marks\/drawings that they can share as having a meaning<\/p>\n

Resources needed:<\/u><\/p>\n

Soil, cup or bowl, rock or spoon to mash with, paintbrushes, pencils, spices, natural materials, water, paper<\/p>\n

Optional \u2013 toys e.g. dinosaurs, animals cars etc that could be used to make marks<\/p>\n

Lesson Activity:<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

The instructions to make natural paints and dyes are included in the links below.\u00a0 The activity can be done using just a bowl or a cup and a rock to mash.\u00a0 It can be a nice sensory experience to add spices, berries, leaves, grass or food colouring to change your paint’s colours.<\/p>\n

Once pupils have made their \u2018paint\u2019, they can use paintbrushes, toys, or other mark-making materials to create different pictures or marks on the paper, wall or ground.<\/p>\n

Making Paint from Soil<\/a><\/p>\n

How to make Natural Dyes<\/a><\/p>\n

Differentiation<\/span><\/p>\n

Prepare the paints and dyes before the lesson if necessary<\/p>\n

Adapt the materials used to suit the needs of the learners<\/p>\n

Extensions<\/span><\/p>\n

Literacy\/Numeracy – Link writing to in class learning – can pupils write their name\/numbers\/letters\/spelling words<\/p>\n

Art – Experiment with mixing different spices\/food colouring together to see what the outcome is<\/p>\n

Science – what happens when you mix other things into the paints…can pupils change the consistency?<\/p>\n
