TERM 4, 2026

Week 1 - 13 October: Which Colours Make What? Using acrylic paint, we’ll experiment with colour mixing and learning about the Colour Wheel as we have fun.

Week 2 - 20 October: Dr Seuss’ Oobleck Fun! We’ll mix up a gloopy and puzzling concoction called Oobleck (named by Dr Seuss!) using simple ingredients for a wonderful sensory and play experience. Is it a liquid or is it a solid?

Week 3 - 27 October: Cool Corrugated Card! Using reclaimed cardboard from boxes, we’ll discover the versatility of corrugated cardboard. Lots of tearing, cutting, rolling, bending and gluing involved to form our creations.

Week 4 - no Art Play session.

Week 5 - 10 November: Here I Am! On a large sheet of paper, adults will trace around their child’s body.  Their features, clothes and favourite things will then be added using a variety of materials and techniques to create themselves.

Week 6 - 17 November: Marvellous Marbling Using simple and safe shaving foam plus food colouring we’ll print beautiful marbled paper while having lots of fun.

Week 7 - 24 November: Rainbow Colour Connections Let’s learn about the colour spectrum with beautiful rainbow creations.

Week 8 - 1 December: Natural Collages Using a variety of material sourced from nature, plus lots of glue, we’ll create inspiring collages.

Week 9 - 8 December: Christmas Prints Using everyday items plus shapes cut from sponges, we’ll print colourful Christmas paper and cards.
