Nursery Sea Creature Colouring Mats: Outlines

Sea Creature Colouring Mats: five painting and colouring outlines. Five big outlines to paint, colour or collage: a fish, an octopus, a jellyfish, a starfish and a shell. Each outline fills a whole page, so it is easy for small hands. Add ribbons to the jellyfish, sand to the shell or bubble-wrap prints to the octopus. Together they make a bright under the sea display. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • 5 colouring outlines. Ideas for using it: • Paint it: Paint a sea creature in any colours you like. • Ribbon jellyfish: Stick ribbons on the jellyfish tentacles. • Octopus prints: Print octopus spots with bubble wrap. • Sandy shell: Add sand to glue on the shell. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Explore colour and colour mixing. • Explore different materials freely, to develop their ideas about how to use them and what to make. • Use a comfortable grip with good control when holding pens and pencils. • Use a wider range of vocabulary.
