Penguin Creative Projects - Be Monet For The Day

Instant creative projects for kids — screen-free, fun, and skill-building

Be Monet for the Day

This isn’t just a painting session — it’s a whole day of creativity inspired by Claude Monet’s love of gardens, flowers, and light. Your child will step into Monet’s world, learning about his art while exploring nature through hands-on activities that build skills, spark curiosity, and create things they’ll be proud of.

Inside the pack, your child can:

• Draw and colour flowers like Monet, learning to observe colour, light, and detail.
• Experiment with pastels to create dreamy garden scenes.
• Try nature printing with leaves and flowers for unique, textured art.
• Create textured crayon rubbings to turn into a colourful bouquet.
• Build an eco-friendly bee hotel and plant seeds to support pollinators.
• Learn fun facts about Monet, flowers, and bees along the way.

You’ll get clear step-by-step instructions, material lists with easy swaps, templates, and fact sheets so the activities feel do-able and meaningful.

The result? A screen-free day where your child creates, learns, and connects with both art and nature. They’ll come away not just with artwork you’ll want to keep, but also a real sense of achievement and awareness of the world around them.
