Easy easel: A creative window to imagination

What you need

• Clingfilm Paints/felt tips
• Paint brushes
• Two surfaces around 1 meter apart e.g. two chairs/table and kitchen counter

Benefits

• This is an exciting way to create art and try and mirror images that we can see on the other side.
• Your child will explore their fine/gross motor skills whilst exploring different varieties of mark-making.

The experience

In between the two surfaces/chairs, stretch cling film out as if it is an easel. Set up the mark-making tools on one side of the clingfilm. You can then use your mark-making tools to get creative - the possibilities are endless.

• You can draw what you see through the cling film. Can you draw your family?
• Can you circle all the shapes you can see?
• Can you match the colours from your paint to the colours you can see in the room?
• Can you do a portrait of one of your family members as they sit behind the clingfilm? Can you write some letters?
