Drawing and painting is a good chance for tamariki to:

• be creative and express themselves
• try out a variety of drawing materials and techniques
• grow their skills and confidence in drawing through practice — repetition of actions strengthens pathways in their brain
• strengthen the fine muscles in their hands and fingers, which will help them when they start writing letters and numbers.

You’ll need: Eggs (or flat stones with round edges), paints and things you can glue on (optional)

1. Boil your eggs for six minutes and let them cool, or give your stones a good wash.
2. Draw a picture onto your egg stone, or decorate it with paint and glitter.
3. Give your creation to someone you care about or use an egg cup to display it.
