“Soft and silent, she swooped through the trees.” The children love #OwlBabies and were inspired to create these chalk #pastel #owls. So much careful #observation, #concentration and #finemotor control!🦉

So much maths to be explored using loose parts! 🐚 🍊

One of my favourite #ChalkPastel drawings by a 4 yo (and I love chalk pastels!) #orca #orcas #killerwhale #ocean #pastels #childrensart #kidsart #eyfs #eyfsart #expressiveartsanddesign #iloveart #iloveartaction

This 5 yo was so reflective when trying to improve her work. By repeating&practising her drawing, she gains a solid understanding of how she learns, how her pictures develop and how she can make them more realistic.#resilience #perseverance #determination #pastels #eyfs #COfEL

The children were inspired by Kandinsky to explore concentric patterns with loose objects. #finemotorskills #kandinsky #concentric #patterns #eyfs #earlyyears #earlymathskills #earlyyearsmaths #looseparts #loosepartplay #creativity #shapespaceandmeasure #iloveart #iloveartaction

Self portrait of a 4 yo with water colours. He spent a couple of weeks exploring colour mixing so he was very confident to mix these colours using trial and error, matching them against his skin and checking the mirror. #selfportrait #allaboutme #eyfs #earlyyears #childrensart
