Free Still Life Poster | EYFS Core | BookFlik

Bring the beauty of the classroom into focus with our new Art still life poster eyfs core resource. Designed specifically for children aged 3 to 5, this vibrant visual aid introduces the concept of still life in a way that is accessible and engaging for early years learners. By observing simple, everyday objects like fruit, flowers, and jugs, children will develop their ability to look closely at shapes, colours, and textures, which are essential foundations for artistic expression.

Our Art still life poster eyfs core is perfectly aligned with the UK National Curriculum, supporting the Expressive Arts and Design area of learning. The poster features Zara the zebra, our resident art expert, who helps children identify patterns and arrangements. Teachers can use this resource to spark discussions during carpet time, encouraging children to describe what they see using descriptive vocabulary. It is an ideal starting point for a creative activity where children can arrange their own small collections of items to draw or paint.

This resource is differentiated at the core level, making it suitable for learners working at the expected standard for their age group. The included activity sheet features five to seven questions designed to deepen understanding. These range from simple recall, such as identifying the colours in an arrangement, to application, where children are asked to choose three items from their classroom to create their own mini still life display.

By using this Art still life poster eyfs core, you provide a structured yet playful approach to observational drawing. Whether you are setting up a dedicated art corner or planning a focused creative lesson, this poster encourages children to slow down, observe the world around them, and build confidence in their own artistic abilities.
