Instructions
Getting prepared!
Important! There must be an adult helping you with this activity.
Ask an adult for some help to cut up some sponges and to put some different coloured paints in bowls.
Making wrapping paper!
Use one of your sponges to print shapes on your paper.
Try sliding, turning and flipping your sponge to see if you can make some new shapes. Remember, when flipping, you’ll need to paint your sponge on both sides to create a print.
What shapes can you make when you turn your sponge?
What shapes do you print when you turn your sponge just a little bit?
What shapes do you print when you turn your sponge more?
Will turning your sponge clockwise or anti-clockwise make a difference to your print?
Describe what you print when you flip your sponge.
Challenge!
Investigate how moving your sponge in different directions using quarter, half and full turns changes the print on the paper.
Which movement (slide, turn or flip) made the most number of shapes?
Create a picture of an animal using flip, slide and turn movements.
