This year children from all over the UK have created artwork inspired by Renoir's ‘The Umbrellas’. The exhibition runs until the 19th September. http://www.funmats.com:MainRSS-Article=10 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 09:35:26 GMT http://www.nationalpetmonth.org.uk/ We have known for a while that a theme is a good way of guiding young children's creativity to produce great artwork. The upcoming National Pet Month is a great hook for themes based around pets & animals: my pet, my dream pet, which country does my pet come from, what pets eat and of course the colours, patterns & textures of different species. National Pet Month starts on the 3rd of April. http://www.funmats.com:MainRSS-Article=9 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:17:00 GMT http://www.funmats.co.uk/monstermats/products.php The full range of FunMats products are now available for hand and footprint artwork as part of the MonsterMat project. Children's hand & footprints are reproduced original size with a patterned border around them on the larger products. http://www.funmats.com:MainRSS-Article=8 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:00:00 GMT http://www.playday.org.uk/fun_stuff.aspx Next Wednesday 5th Aug is 'Playday!'. The Play England organisation encourages people working with children to organise events designed to get children playing in their 'annual celebration of children’s right to play'.<br><br> Playday are also running an art competition themed 'How I Play!'. The closing date is 9th Oct. We think this is great.
