In nursery art is not about creating a perfect picture or a finished masterpiece. Instead, it's about:

• Discovery: Exploring materials, textures, and colours freely.
• Confidence: Encouraging self-expression without fear of making mistakes.
• Skill Development: Building fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity.
• Joyful Learning: Experiencing art as an exciting and open-ended adventure The best moments this week weren’t about what children “made” but what they learned. They explored questions like:
  • “What happens when I mix these colors?”
  • “How does this feel when I press it onto the paper?”
  • “What else can I try?”

‍At Home: Process-Based Art Ideas

• Want to try this at home? Here are a few ideas:
• • Let your child paint with natural brushes made from leaves or feathers.
  • Use old cardboard boxes as creative canvases.
  • Encourage messy, sensory play with finger paints or playdough.
  • Focus on questions like, “What do you notice?” or “How does this feel?” rather than “What are you making?”
