Default Does this activity sound ok?

I need to think of a craft activity for this week using 'purple' as the theme. I was thinking of mark making with fir cones and twigs using purple paint. Does this sound ok? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated :)

Sounds excellent if wanted you could extend by adding a white paint & pva glue mix to the surface of the purple, watching what happens & sprinkling on purple glitter. Purple dough & fir cones is also good

Have fun with it xx

Thanks Ruthie, it's reassuring to hear from experienced people. I like the idea you suggested. I think I will use different shades of purple paint and use black sugar paper for the background.
