Tyra and Sarah were experimenting with the paints today. They started off using individual colours with the paint brushes to paint butterflies but soon they realised the paints were blending together and that their picture did not look like a butterfly. They then decided to use their hands to mix the colours further and make hand prints. Sarah said, "Look I made a new colour". Tyra and Sarah described the feeling of the paint in between their fingers as "cold and squishy". By the end of the session their paper, their clothes and the table were covered in paint.
This creative play is linked to the Exploration Strand of Te Whaariki where children are exploring their ideas, materials, and the environment through the arts. They are also developing their problem solving skills by testing their ideas of mixing colours to make sense of the world around them.
