Painting a Christmas Tree
Use algorithms, sequencing and logic to paint a Christmas Tree.
You will receive step by step instructions to help with this, including what to say to help drop some key words into the activity (logic, algorithms and sequencing)
This activity introduces some of the foundations that will help your child when they’re at school. Plus it’s great fun, a little messy and produces a lovely keepsake at the end.

Help your children unplug from tech with screen-free craft activities. They will learn about computational thinking, problem solving and critical thinking which form part of the foundations that help when they’re learning about computing at school.
There are generally 4 strands of computational thinking:
Deconstruction – breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller, more manageable parts.
Algorithms – creating, developing and following a step-by-step solution to the problem, or the rules to follow to solve the problem.
Sequencing – when we have worked out the algorithms (rules) of an activity, we look at what order the process is done in.
Pattern recognition – looking for similarities among and within problems.
This activity gives you and your child an opportunity to have some fun together and create some homemade craft. There’s no pressure to make it Insta perfect, just having fun is what’s important! Bonus is that your child will be learning something without them even realising it!
