Questions to ask preschoolers about their artwork
Young children love to paint and draw, build and sculpt and when they present us with their artworks it’s easy to tell them that they’ve done a great job - whatever the results! However with a few open-ended questions you can find out a little more about what they’ve produced and what inspired them. You’ll also help develop their creative and critical thinking skills in the process.

What you'll need for your foam paints
How to make your foam paints
1. Fill each space in the muffin tin with a squirt of shaving foam.
2. Add a drop or two of food colouring to each of the squirts of shaving foam. Use a different colour for each squirt of foam.
3. Take the paint brushes (or get your kids to use their fingers) and paint away! It’s that easy!
4. Because the paint dissolves, any remaining paint can be washed away when the kids are finished.
Tip
You might want to add a very small drop of washing up liquid to the mix to help remove the food colouring a little easier from your kids skin once they've finished painting.
