I have seen some debate on children’s art work and whether hand prints should be used or whether it takes away from it being the child’s work.
Here at Chirton Little Acorns, we do a mixture of adult-led artwork and free art. The children learn new skills when following an adult and they often love doing it.
The children are also given lots of opportunities to explore arts and crafts simply for enjoying the experience. Sometimes we do a joint artwork or we use chalks or water in the garden to express ourselves and sometimes we use paper and take home our creations.
Today we have used paint, glue, googly eyes, pipe cleaners and stickers.
