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?
