Although it is critical to offer children with opportunities for free play, numerous research in educational and developmental psychology have demonstrated that children benefit from some degree of facilitation, or invitations to play, on occasion. Invitations to play can help youngsters perceive new possibilities for play, grasp new ways to use resources, and relate new experiences to previous ones. I try to strike a balance between planning activities for my son and allowing him to explore and play with things in his own unique way. I’ve also seen how our “organised” play has inspired his free play, which is a great thing to see. He enjoys acting out social scenes with his toys, arranging particular items on his table for a play session, and matching objects to photographs.

I experimented with a few various ways for mixing and painting skin tones (acrylic paint, staining, liquid watercolours, and so on), but I really wanted to find a low-mess process that kids of all ages could easily explore with. I was overjoyed to discover that basic watercolour cakes with a brush performed better than any other material I tested! They’re incredibly simple to combine, allowing for an infinite variety of skin tones, and they provide gorgeous rich hues. They were also the simplest to paint on, absorbing quickly and leaving consistent tones no matter how they were applied.
