Keep the palette to 2–3 harmonious colours for a visually unified result. This stage is about letting kids explore and enjoy making art together.Step 2 – Exploring Encourage layering patterns, shapes, or simple patterns related to the lesson or theme of the day. Repetition, size variation, and group prompts create flow and connection across the artwork.Step 3 – Bling! Add finishing touches such as dots, highlights, or small stickers to tie the piece together. This stage is calming, fun, and gives each participant a sense of accomplishment. Facilitator tip:  Using the Power of Three – three colours, three brushes, and three stages – simplifies planning, keeps everyone engaged, and ensures a cohesive final piece.Pattern Play Collaborative Art is all about connection and creativity.
