Explore a world of creativity with the KS1 Art and Design collection from Hands-On Education. This collection is designed for teachers and home educators supporting children aged 5–7, and offers a diverse range of lesson packs and printable resources that inspire creative exploration, skill development, and joyful self-expression.

The KS1 Art and Design shop features hands-on projects across painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, and craft—each thoughtfully aligned with the curriculum and linked to nature, history, science, and more. Children learn to observe and record the world in their own unique style, exploring lines, shapes, patterns, and colour through projects like nature journals, famous artist studies, and practical investigations of materials.

Each resource is crafted to make art accessible, enjoyable, and meaningful. Packs include step-by-step instructions, printable worksheets, guided activities, and teacher or parent notes for easy implementation at home or in the classroom. Multi-topic bundles offer even greater value, with cross-curricular units that connect artistic skills to the wider world—showing children the links between creative work, literacy, maths, and science.

Seasonal projects and themed activities keep learning fresh and engaging all year long. The collection supports both direct instruction and child-led inquiry, encouraging young artists to experiment, reflect, and talk about their work. New lesson packs and creative printables are added regularly, so teachers and families can always find new inspirations and challenges.

Browse the KS1 Art and Design shop to discover a creative toolbox that nurtures imagination, confidence, and foundational art skills in every young learner.
