The Prep Section conducted a Water Dabbing Activity on Tuesday, 9th June 2026. It was our ‘First Splash’ into the Theme of Water.
Our Pre-primary learners began with a fun and sensory activity — the perfect introduction to our new theme: Water.
To begin, each child was given a sheet of paper lightly dampened with water. Using soft sponges, they dabbed vibrant paints onto the wet surface and watched with wonder as the colors spread, swirled, and blended in beautiful, unexpected ways.
We explored:
Property of water: How it spreads and helps colors flow
Creativity: No two artworks looked the same — every dab created a unique pattern
Sensory play: The cool, wet paper and squishy sponges made it a hands-on delight
The classroom was filled with giggles as children discovered how water makes paint dance. This playful experiment not only sparked curiosity about water but also helped develop fine motor skills, colour recognition, and early scientific thinking.
We will continue to explore more properties of water through stories, experiments, and art in the coming week.
