Making Photography 'childs play' in a Natural Environment

How to play Hopscotch

Published on by HopscotchLeave a comment

Use chalk to draw a hopscotch pattern on the ground or use masking tape on the floor. Create a diagram with eight sections and number them. Each player has a marker such as a stone, shell, button, etc. For younger children simply hopping across the single versus double squares can provide hours of fun.

Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.

Nursery PhotographyForest Schools in the UK may seem a fairly new movement. In reality it is based on a rich heritage of outdoor learning going back at least to the 19th century.

To get the best results use poster paints or watercolours, acrylics,. Bold colours are better for a striking artwork

Pencils and felt tips
We  do not recommend using pencil or felt tips as they don’t always appear bold enough

Glitter
Feel free to add glitter, and coloured tissues and sticky paper if flat.

Scribble
Avoid letting children scribble as this can be seen as a missed opportunity by parents.

Support
Close supervision and support while completing art work

Chalk
Chalks, Pastels and charcoal don’t always travel well. These can arrive with us a smudged version of the originals glory.

Foot and hands prints
Always make great personal artwork
