  2. Super Tempera paints (various colours)

  3. A large sheet of plain white paper

  4. Water cups

Step 1: Set Up

Before we embark on our creative journey, let's make sure everything is set up:

  • Lay down old newspapers to protect your work surface.

  • Put on your apron or paint-friendly attire.

  • Fill water cups for cleaning brushes.

  • Set out your sponges, paints, paper, and brushes.

Step 2: Choose Shapes.

Discuss shapes with the children. Ask them what shapes they like or want to explore. Let them select a few sponges of different shapes and sizes.


Step 3: Sketch Design:

Using a pencil, lightly sketch a design on your white paper. This could be simple shapes, patterns, or even a theme like underwater creatures or outer space.


Step 4: Paint with Sponges:  Dip sponges in the Super Tempera paint and dab them onto paper following your design.


Step 5: Add Details. Use brushes to add details.
