One sunny morning, Preschool all went out to the big playground to paint on the ground using a mixture of water and glitter. They created some fantastic outdoor art. As the children painted, they commented on what they could see… “look a circle, an aeroplane, a letter D, a cross, a house, a face, a girl, a train, a letter A, a caterpillar, a letter H, a triangle, a sad face and a car”. After a while, the water dried up and our playground was covered in glitter art.
The children adored the freedom of being able to paint with no restrictions. They also enjoyed being able to choose to sit by themselves, quietly with a few others, or chatting in a group. It was amazing to watch our little artists so absorbed in creativity.
We hope you get the opportunity to try this at home, or perhaps while on a play date. It sure was lots of fun!
