Movement
• The children imagine the biggest piece of paper they have seen. Using pretend pots of paint and brushes they stretch up and bend down to paint sky, grass and a square house with door and windows.
Song: (to the tune ‘Do you know the Muffin Man?’)
Can you paint a head that’s red, a head that’s red, a head that’s red?
Reach up high and paint a head with a very smiley face.
Can you paint a body blue…?
Can you paint some yellow arms…?
Follow that with two green legs. Sitting down, the children can join in with more shape painting.
