Try using dots to paint rather than lines. Can you draw a picture with dots. Use a variety of objects to create different sized dots. We use ear buds, twigs and the pointy end of a brush. Try drawing different shapes and fill them with lots of dots

Make your own story stones, paint your symbols on 6 stones. Throw your stones and take turns to tell a story with your symbols.
