Activity 8 ? Christmas Paintings

Children can use a suitable painting program to create pictures of snowmen, stars, Christmas trees etc.  Many of these can be created using basic shapes (rectangles, circles, triangles) available from the polygon tools or stamps.  Children will need to be shown how  to flood fill.  If the images are small they could be printed onto thin card and cut out to make gift tags or Christmas cards.

Some black and white Christmas clip art icons can be found at http://www.mape.org.uk/ see the Downloads section on the Classroom Activities page.  These can be coloured in using flood fill.
