Expressive Arts and Design is one of the seven areas of learning in the Early Years curriculum and we explore it in many different ways and with many different resources. Here the children have worked on a shared piece using a combination of paint and collage using sparkly materials. They had opportunities to make choices - deciding which colours to use and which collage materials to add - and were supported to talk about the materials and to enjoy the effects. Shiny materials are particularly interesting as they reflect the light. At home you could look around and find all the materials in your house that are shiny and sparkly. Have a look in the kitchen, the bathroom and the sitting room. Also look for shiny materials on the way to and from school.
