What to do

  • Ask an adult for some help to cut up some sponges using the features of regular and irregular polygons. Also get them to help you put some different coloured paints in bowls.

  • Let's make some wrapping paper!

  • Use 2 sponges to print shapes on your paper.

  • How many sides does your shape have when it's printed and how many angles?

Watch the video to find out what to do next.

Let's investigate

    • What's the same and different as you rotate, reflect and translate your sponge to create prints?
