Its my turn to do the Art/Craft at the Childminding Group on Wednesday.

I need some ideas for a quick, easy art/craft activity for about 20 children please.

Coloured paper, assortment of paint in squeezy bottles and cling film.
Squirt small amounts of paint on paper, cover paper in cling film tuck under edges, children explore textures with hands, move fingers around to mix colours,place hands flat and swish around.
Remove cling film and leave picture to dry or remove film and place another sheet of paper on top of picture, children can press them together to create another picture.
One to take home one for learning journal.
Covers lots of areas of EYFS too and not too messy.
Add glitter or foil sprinkles for extra glamour
