By making drawing and marking making really big, we can show children variety and depth in how they develop their creative art and mark making. We help them see new possibilities and new ways of thinking about things, leading to them trying new things that are valued by the people around them.

This energy-fuelled pack enables educators to help their children create and share ideas through colour, shape, texture and pattern, on many different scales, both indoors and outdoors.

As well as stimulating new games and play ideas, it encourages children to explore the properties of new materials. It helps them understand how they can change or be affected by other materials, building a scientific, inquiring and creative mind right across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
