Playful Patterns: Connecting With Others
Playful Patterns: Connecting With Others
Help primary-aged children unwind, have fun and connect with others with this creative wellbeing activity from Place2Be's Art Room.
Designed together with young carers
Our team collaborated with Credu and MYTIME Young Carers to create this exciting activity. We were honoured to work with young carers who opened up to us about the challenges they face while looking after someone as a young person. Listening to their stories, we understood their need for an art activity that was both fun and social.
The Art Room's Playful Patterns activity encourages creative freedom, including the option to be messy! It allows children to take a moment to enjoy some well-deserved fun and an opportunity to step away from daily responsibilities.
What age is this activity aimed at?
We've designed this activity for primary school children aged 5 to 11.
Which art materials are needed for this project?
Our Playful Patterns activity can be made with just about any material! Ideas for materials you could use include:
- coloured pencils
- ready-mixed paint
- watercolours
- mouldable clay.
How many activities are in the pack?
Our Playful Patterns: Connecting With Others wellbeing activity pack includes one art activity plus a bonus game.
Can this activity be done independently?
We recommend collaborating with others on this activity, but it can be done independently if preferred.
