Painting Without Brushes
At EEPS, creativity goes beyond the paintbrush! Children love exploring different textures and patterns by painting with natural and everyday objects—like leaves, sponges, cotton balls, or even toy cars.
When children paint with leaves, they’re not just making art—they’re also:
✨ Building fine motor skills through grasping and pressing
✨ Discovering cause and effect (“What happens if I drag the leaf instead of stamping it?”)
✨ Exploring nature in a new way
✨ Strengthening creativity and problem-solving skills
This kind of open-ended art encourages curiosity and self-expression while allowing children to see that art can be created in many different ways.
At EEPS, we love giving children opportunities to express themselves while connecting with the world around them!
