This course is for all early years practitioners who would like to reflect on how their setting promotes creativity and their use of paint. If you lack confidence in your creative skills, then this course is for you. We will explore: • Our understanding of creativity and how easy it is for us as adults to stifle children’s creativity • Different ways of presenting paint to children in both inside and outside environments • How we inform parents of the need for children to have opportunities to create This course will use a mixture of discussion, video and practical activities that will leave you motivated, excited and confident to try new ways of using paint. Participants should be aware that we will be using paint and they may get messy.
