Bring the excitement of the studio into your classroom with our Art printmaking colouring page eyfs core resource. Designed specifically for children aged 3 to 5, this activity introduces the foundational concepts of printmaking, such as texture, repetition, and pattern-making, in a fun and accessible way. As children colour, they explore how shapes can be repeated to create a design, mirroring the process artists use when pressing carved blocks onto paper.
This Art printmaking colouring page eyfs core is perfectly aligned with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) for Expressive Arts and Design. It encourages children to safely explore colour, media, and materials, helping them to develop fine motor control and spatial awareness. By engaging with this Art printmaking colouring page eyfs core, children learn to notice the intricate patterns in the world around them, guided by our creative zebra, Zara, who loves to spot beauty in every shape and line.
Teachers can use this resource as a warm-up activity before a hands-on printing lesson using sponges or potato stamps. It provides a visual bridge between drawing and the technical process of transferring an image. This core-level worksheet is designed for children working at the expected standard, offering clear outlines and engaging patterns that challenge their dexterity without being overwhelming.
To support learning, use these questions:
1. What patterns can you spot on the page?
2. If you were to print this using a sponge, which colours would you choose?
3. How does repeating a shape change the look of your picture?
4. Can you find any shapes that look like the ones Zara the zebra might see?
5. How does the ink stay on the paper when we make a print?
