What to do

  • Ask an adult for some help to cut up some sponges and to put some different coloured paints in bowls.

  • Use one of your sponges to print shapes on the paper to make some wrapping paper.

  • If you have printed a square, check if each side of your square is the same length by using a piece of string.

  • Print some more shapes on your wrapping paper. Remember to try slide your sponge then print and also try turning your sponge then printing.

  • Try turning your sponge in different directions, what shape do you print when you turn your sponge a little bit?

Discuss/Reflect

  • How do we know when a square is a square?

  • What happens to a square when we turn it? Is it still a square?

  • When you moved your sponge in different ways, what did you notice?
