Use nature’s gifts for your next painting experience for some spectacular effects! This painting adventure is all about exploration and creating process art which means there is no particular picture or end product to create. We collected a few sticks, different shaped leaves, shells, stones and a couple of flowers for painting tools. Working together we explored different ways to make some amazing effects that only nature’s gifts can make! Check out the 8 ideas we came up with using nature to explore a new painting experience.

Marbles can be used for more than games and marble runs! Why not try this fun idea of rolling marbles through paint. Create an abstract work of art with two marble painting techniques. Use primary colours to demonstrate colour mixing in this fun marble painting activity. Place painted marbles straight on paper and roll around or roll painted marbles on a tray then place your paper on top to make a print. This activity is both fun and promotes motor skills. Read this blog to find out more about marble painting.

Painting is a favourite activity for kids. Mix things up with your painting and use a fork instead of a paintbrush. Kids will love trying out a new technique that is sure to challenge their hand-eye co-ordination and motor skills. Use our video examples and the free PDF templates to kick start your fork painting fun and then allow children to try some of their own ideas.
