Smile Summer themed outline set added to the store

A set of 17 summer time outline templates have been added to the store.

Focussing on sun awareness, warm weather clothing, staying cool and ways in which to protect yourself all culminate in helping to promote children's self awareness.

Ways the outlines can be used ..

A flip flop shoe paint and print activity - get toes messy with paint, mud or create own shoe designs by drawing and tracing the utlines of children's feet!
Suncream awareness - dispensing methods, bottles, wipes and sprays. An additional set of images have been included to laminate and add alongide the exploration of real squeeze, squirt, spray and wipe objects in a water tray maybe, transfering action to text. Make bottle labels that wrap and inform.
Hat image to use with collaging materials - straw & weaving, sun hats introduce cultural aspects to planned activities - UK hanky, USA baseball, Mexican sombrero
Place with mark making tools - crayons, pencils near a hat focussed dressup box
Towel outline - use with fabric pieces that explore absorbancy and waterproof - repellant. Which works best tissue paper or towelling fabric?
Shell outline to take marbelling prints with - pearlescent marbeling inks
Long & tall glass - cut, paste and connect the picture pieces to make a representationally, refreshing cool drink or laminate the glass image and float in a water tray, add lemon, lime and orange slices, gold/yellow/orange and green glitter.
Sun shade parasol.

Use as instruction plans for constructing parasols with real resources - drinking staws, concertina folded paper, broom handles, sheeting and rope. or for markmaking resources, cutting and for jigsaw type assembly.
Icecream outline examines the patterning of a cone. Recreate with dipping tools, brown paint and scrunched colour tissue paper for flavour.
Bucket and spade outlines can be utillised as wall display posters. Collage with sand to demonstrate full of sand, half full, quater full and empty.
Yacht outline and naming. Mark make cut and float on the surface of water. How long will a paper yacht resist the water ..
Sunflower and leaves - explore height, growing, number, size and colour of leaves ..
Use real leaves, clean with a mild disenfectant, dry and paint. Take impressions of the leaves onto the outline to see patterning and leaf veins that enable water to travel around a plant.
Cloud and sun template invites colour fill activities with colours white and yellow.
Use soft fluffy materials to paint dip and impression make and reflective materials as collage for the sun.
Use as a sun awaeness activity that explores how sun can damage eyes and skin.
June 2012 edition contains sun awareness poster or black line image and rhyme.
Sunglass outlines can be used to cut, wear and discuss eye protection.

A page of general planning suggestions is also included.
