All Welcome Here colouring sheet and eye-spy

Colouring in is a great mindfulness activity that supports relaxation, fine motor skills and improves focus. This one page colouring sheet is jam packed full of little details!  There’s also lots of rich language to be included when researching and describing the images—the A3 image makes a great collaborative buddy activity. Enjoy!

This 1 page colouring sheet image includes:

• Haere Mai – All welcome here! This bright, bold and cheerful image is the perfect way to bright up a classroom entrance way or school reception area. It makes a great first week of school activity.
• This poster features a central sun image with the words “Haere Mai, All welcome here” underneath. The surrounding space is jam packed full of Aotearoa inspired zentagle art…. stars, pohutukawa blooms, ferns, kowhai leaves, hearts, korus and a frangipani.

This 1 page ‘All Welcome here’ themed colouring page is included in 3 variations:

1. A plain colouring page
2. A colouring page surrounded by eye-spy, mini-challenges that they can tick off as they complete the colouring sheet (e.g. – Can you find and colours some shapes that could represent wave or water patterns; What are the complimentary colours? Add some to make the colours in your image ‘pop!’ etc)
3. A colouring page with blank eye-spy boxes (so you can personalise and add your own challenges – see the editable version notes below)

This resource is included in 3 formats:

• An A4 PDF file
• An A3 PDF file (A3 is perfect for completing with a buddy as a collaborative ‘find, chat & colour’ activity)
• An editable Power Point file: Add specific eye-spy challenges or tasks to better meet the needs of your little learners. You could even leave a few blank so the children can write a challenge for a friend! ***YOU WILL NEED POWER POINT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN AND ACCESS THE EDITABLE FILE***

This resource also comes as a 32 piece, 1.7 X 1.2 metre collaborative poster – click here to take a peek!
