Step-by-Step Instructions
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 |
Gather Materials: Collect all the activity materials in one place to ensure a smooth start. |
| 2 |
Start Tracing: Encourage the child to trace the outlines of the objects on the activity sheets, starting with one object at a time using a pencil. |
| 3 |
Begin Colouring: Inform the child that the teapot will be coloured with watercolours using the reference image, while the fish and hot air balloon will be coloured with sketch pens. Let the child decide which object to colour first. Guide them to colour along the outline first, then slowly fill in the centre. |

Encourage Neatness: Remind the child that it’s okay if the colours go outside the lines, but encourage them to try their best to stay within the boundaries. |
| 5 |
Celebrate Efforts: Praise the child for their efforts and creativity, regardless of the outcome. |
| 6 |
Ask Questions: Engage the child by asking questions about their choices and the colours they used to stimulate conversation and further creativity. |
