Today, our Koala Room children (18 months–2 years) enjoyed a collaborative car painting experience. The children explored rolling toy cars through paint and across paper, creating colourful wheel tracks while developing their creativity and curiosity.
This hands-on experience encouraged the children to manoeuvre the cars in different directions, strengthening their fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness. They also enjoyed working alongside their peers, sharing materials, taking turns, and engaging in meaningful interactions.
Through open-ended play, the children explored cause and effect, experimented with different movements, and expressed themselves through art in a fun and engaging way.
EYLF Learning Outcomes:
Outcome 1: Children develop a strong sense of identity as they confidently explored and made choices during the experience.
Outcome 3: Children demonstrated wellbeing by developing coordination, control, and confidence through active movement.
Outcome 4: Children became confident and involved learners as they investigated, experimented, and solved problems through play.
Outcome 5: Children were effective communicators as they shared ideas, used gestures and language, and interacted with educators and peers throughout the activity.
