Tactile Wall Art: Upcycled Treasures PlayArt is an original Maria Grujicic Studio creative learning resource for children aged 3–6, drawing on Montessori-informed principles and developed as part of Maria's wider Tactile Wall Art Project.

These process-led art activities for preschoolers encourage sensory exploration, imaginative play and creative independence through found materials, loose parts and everyday objects.

Children are invited to arrange, build, balance, sort, tell stories and create temporary compositions. Rather than following fixed craft templates, they investigate texture, shape, colour, space and movement through hands-on discovery.

Developed through Maria's original artistic practice, the resource offers flexible PlayArt experiences that educators and families can adapt to their own learning environments.

This resource supports:

• sensory exploration

• fine-motor development

• symbolic play

• language and storytelling

• creative problem-solving

• independence and choice

• social learning and care for materials

• process-led visual arts learning

  
  

Includes:
