Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: Some pupils will struggle to make intricate details for their figures and may need support when painting. These pupils may find that colouring their pegs with marker pens is more successful. Small felt shapes for clothes may be pre-cut ready for the lesson, such as quadrilateral shapes to make skirts for example. Wool might be cut into small pieces ready for gluing.

Pupils working at greater depth: More advanced students will be able to create finer details more easily and they should be encouraged to create more sophisticated scenes using multiple figures.
