Did you see my post on our ‘creation table’? We take it to different places in the backyard and the boys immediately start to use these different environments whilst they paint… There’s been decorated passion fruit, painted tomato and basil leaf prints and some green cherry tomatoes used to roll over the paper and make a print. Sometimes we paint or draw what we see..

Interacting with the outdoors provides children with a way to access mindfulness. We talk about the sensory properties of the garden, take note of the clouds and birds we can see or hear and think about what we are focused on. Just try it and you’ll automatically feel calmer and ready to create!
