Who says painting eggs is just for Easter? Have fun painting Father Christmas and other figures, all while exploring children’s PSED progress. It is best suited for small groups.
Follow our simple step-by-step guide to have a go at this PSED activity today:
Give each child an egg and encourage them to decorate it how they like, using the finger paints. They can paint anything they want, from Father Christmas and snowmen to a sibling or pet, or maybe just some nice, bright colours!
As this plan doesn’t really focus on Christmas, there will be no problem using it as a non-Christmas activity.
