Kitchen Utensil Art

I love finding new ideas for art activities for the children and a fellow childminder suggested raiding the kitchen utensils to create some patterns in the children's art work.

The children thought this was a fantastic idea. They talked amongst themselves about the different cutlery available and discussed the shapes of the various spatulas and moulds that we used. 

With using different objects to paint the children focus more on their art work - where they are placing the patterns and why they are doing this which resulted in some fabulous discussions amongst the group and generated a great variety of colourful artwork!
