Firework Mark Making – EYFS Tuff Tray Activity 🎆

Bring Bonfire Night into your early years setting with this colourful Firework Mark Making activity! Children can explore vibrant colours and create their own firework designs while practising a range of mark-making movements, including lines, curves, zigzags, waves and spirals.

Designed to support purposeful continuous provision, this activity encourages children to develop their fine motor control, hand strength and coordination while experimenting with different marks, patterns and movements.

What's included?

• Firework Mark Making cards featuring a variety of colourful tracing patterns to inspire children's movements.

• A4 planning sheet outlining the resources needed, key vocabulary and learning experiences (outcomes).

The planning sheet helps practitioners and supporting adults understand the learning behind the activity, making it easier to introduce relevant vocabulary, ask meaningful questions and recognise the skills children are developing.

Why choose this resource?

This is more than a seasonal creative activity. It provides opportunities to develop physical skills, expressive arts and design, mathematics, communication and language, understanding the world, and personal, social and emotional development.

Perfect for EYFS continuous provision, this resource helps make the learning behind your Bonfire Night activities clear, purposeful and meaningful.
