MAKE IT ALL INCLUSIVE
I read with interest the feature on the paint area (24 July) which had valid suggestions for resources to paint with. It mentioned hands and fingers, but not feet.
Feet painting itself is always a fun activity, but how many settings have tried foot painting and mouth painting with brushes? We did this following some in-house training with our area SENCO when we thought about how our setting is an enabling environment for children with special needs. This was one activity which was easily made inclusive.
Settings don't always need to provide tables and easels to do craft and painting, or any activity for that matter. Most things can be taken to floor level. Many children enjoy lying or kneeling down to play.
