Your mission
-
Pick your colours
Choose three pencil colours. Make a little mark for each on your paper. Hunt for colours indoors or on a walk with a grown-up.
Which colour will be hardest to find?
-
Look a little closer
Find something that matches each colour. Notice a tiny detail: a pattern on a leaf, a bright door or a mark on a favourite cup.
Can you find two different shades of the same colour?
-
Draw your discoveries
Draw one thing for each colour. Show your grown-up your favourite discovery. If you want, tell them how you feel now.
There is no right colour for a feeling.
One question to wonder about
What did you notice that you hadn’t seen before?
A little tip for grown-ups
Follow your child’s pace. Let them choose what to notice and whether to talk about feelings. They do not need to feel calmer afterwards; noticing, drawing or quietly spending time together is enough.
Stay with a grown-up outdoors. Look without touching unfamiliar plants or picking things up. You can play entirely at home and stop whenever you like.
