Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Offer a few colours rather than the whole box; a smaller palette leads to careful choices and finished pictures.
2. 2Invite older children to add their own background, patterns or shading to make the picture theirs.
3. 3Keep sessions to 5–10 minutes and finish with praise – young children learn best in short bursts.
