Big box painting

I bought a big box into KIDSPACE earlier in the week for the children to paint and construct whatever they wish. Paige helped me get it out of my car, before setting it up with paint pots. Straight away, a group of children were keen on doing some painting. I ensured there were enough paint pots and brushes for everyone. Cian, Ruby, Taneesha, Paige, Aimee, Marley were involved to begin with, all choosing an area on the box to paint, and maneuvering around each other with care. Oscar crawled over half way through and grabbed a paint brush ready to join in as well.



This was a lovely experience to observe, as the children took such an invested interest, as well as being creative in their own way. The children worked well along side each other, initiating conversation and further developing social skills.
