Painting – Childhood
Physical – When a child is painting, they are using their fine gross motor skills. This could help their physical skills get better. They also use hand-eye coordination when they are putting paint on the paintbrush or washing the paint off the paintbrush in water.
Intellectual – When a child is painting, they have to use their mind and ideas on what they want to paint and how they want to paint it. For example, finger painting, vegetable painting or free painting with a paintbrush. They may also use their intellectual skills to choose what colours they want to use and where to put the colours to make a clear painting. The child may also have a picture next to them like a flower or a football to copy and try to paint it themselves.
Emotional – Children may paint a picture, think positive about it, and give it to their parents/guardians, or it could go the complete opposite way think negative about it, throw it away, and be upset or angry as a child cannot control their emotions as a teenager or adult can.
Social – The children that are painting might share ideas, show each other their pictures or even paint pictures for each other. The children might draw pictures with their friends and take turns in doing parts of the picture, especially if they are doing colour by number sheets.
Football – Childhood

Emotional – The children playing football may score a goal and be proud of themselves. They may also enjoy football and
