Being Creative at Home
Be an icy artist
Transient Art
Transient art is the creative experience of placing open-ended resources together on a surface. As part of transient art children will explore shape, space, pattern, positioning, colour, texture and overlapping. What is crucial here is that the materials are not fixed onto a surface with glue or tape but can be moved and placed in different positions to fit children’s changing creative ideas. If the resources are open-ended enough, the children will be able to explore a multitude of creative possibilities with the same collection of resources by combining them in different ways.

 Interesting materials to get you started might include:
  • Natural materials such as leaves, sticks or seeds
  • Metal materials such as nuts, bolts, screws
  • Recycled materials such as milk bottle tops, cardboard tubing, jar lids and corks
  • Pieces of string, elastic bands, hair bobbles

Ladybird potato stamps
Who doesn't love a cheerful ladybird? This fun activity is great for little ones. You just need a potato, paints and paper.
Watch our video to see what to do then get creative. You can even experiment and make other creatures like bumblebees, woodlice or shield bugs.
Pendulum Painting
This activity can get very messy so make sure you have a big table cloth on the floor, or some old newspapers. If the weather is nice, do it outside - you’ll have more space to swing your pendulum too. ​
