Literacy - Mark making ideas!


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

We are trying to develop our literacy/mark making area, apart from the obvious;

  • Pens, pencils, crayons
  • Whiteboards & markers
  • Blackboards & chalks
  • We have clip boards with shopping lists & pencils in the role play corner (friut and veg shop)

I would like to rack your brains for some 'out of the box' ideas to make the area more interesting and entice and engage the children!

 

Thanks :1b

I loved charcoal when I was little,my dad smoked a pipe so the ashtray was always full of really burnt matches which I would gather and use to draw on the walls outside. The day mom and dad bought me a box of charcoal sticks was fabulous.

 

I presume you have print displayed too, I used to buy newspapers in different languages whenever I could to just for a bit of interest.

Pens and pencils that were a bit unusual too, I bought some lovely ones from Hawkins Bazaar years ago, the lead was multi- coloured.
