Recently in the pond the children had a great time bringing laughter, creativity and a little bit of delightful chaos when painting with their feet.
Watching the children step into bright colours and stamp their tiny footprints onto paper, and popping the bubbles in bubble wrap, is not only adorable- it’s also a wonderful way for them to explore art and sensory play.
“ it’s slippy” “ I like it”
All the children enjoyed the cool feeling of paint between their toes, the squishy texture as they step into it, and the slip sliding as they created the colourful prints they left behind it all helps stimulate their senses, it also supports creativity, coordination and confidence.
It didn’t take long before the children asked for paint brushes and the squeals of laughter filled the room as they felt the tickle of the bristles on their feet.
“ it tickles”
They all like the warmth of the soapy water we used to “clean” their feet
The children extended their interest in footprints by making pictures of dinosaur footprints comparing sizes.
“Stomp, stomp,stomp”
Great messy fun was had by all
