Exploring Marks & Patterns in Nature
Children will go outside and look in their surroundings for variety of leaves, seeds, tree barks and any other natural things available. They bring it back and sit with a A4 sheet, oil pastel and water colours to explore the patterns present in these leaves, seeds and barks. On an A4 sheet they keep the leaf and another A4 sheet on top and using oil pastels gently rub on it to get the patterns and again apply paint on the leaf and is pressed on another A4 sheet. This is repeated for everything they have collected and observe the patterns they have created. Children develop close observation skills, paying attention to detail, and also develop investigation skills.
