Little Creators: Texture and Paint

Let’s explore how different textures create unique patterns!

You’ll need:

  • Materials with different textures (corrugated cardboard, scraps of materials, fake grass etc)
  • Paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Sponges
  • Sheets of paper

Set out all of your textures on the floor (on top of a tarpaulin if you have one to help with clean up!).

Let the children get creative, dabbing paint onto the textures with sponges or paint brushes.

Before the paint dries, place a piece of paper over the top and push down. Carefully left up and see what pattern is on the paper
