Bringing the outdoors into your creative art time is so much

Start off by taking the kids on a nature walk and as you walk
you can collect interesting shaped rocks.
Prepare the work area with a plastic sheet and put on the
aprons.
Arrange the rocks and leaves on the table and talk to the
children about what they can see in the different shapes. Like a mouse, ladybird or a fish.
Use a paint brush and your tempera paints to start
creating. Painting and repainting the
rocks can lead to hours of enjoyment.
Allow to dry. You can use glue or a black marker to add
eyes, ears and a nose when the paint is dry.
