Mixing black and white paint to make
lots of shades of grey provided a lot of interest and painting on
newspaper was far more interesting than painting on plain white
paper! We used our farm animals, African animals and pet plastic
animals as inspiration to paint some master pieces. Lots of great
language was used and new words like 'Dalmatians' were learnt. It was
a challenge for the children to wear black and white clothing but
proved to be very easy for the adults, unlike some of the other
colours.
As I had so much fun with the black and
white theme I suggested that my daughter use the same theme for her
birthday party. It was really effective and I couldn't believe how
creative her friends were with their outfits and how beautifully they wrapped their gifts in keeping with the theme.

Thanks for sharing all those fun black and white activities. I particularly like the black play dough spider web. I am keen to try it with my son.
