Inspire creativity and cross-curricular learning with the KS2 Art and Design collection from Hands-On Education. Specially curated for children aged 7–11, this shop features a wealth of project packs and printables to help learners explore the world through art—at school or at home.

KS2 Art and Design projects support a deepening of fundamental skills: drawing, painting, collage, sculpting, model making, and working with textiles. Children are invited to work with a wide range of materials, try new techniques, and investigate topics that link art to music, history, science, geography, and literacy. Each lesson offers opportunities to study artists and craftspeople, build a personal sketchbook, and reflect on process and outcome through guided questioning, journaling, and creative writing.

The collection helps children explore themes such as fossils, ancient cultures, natural phenomena (like light and volcanoes), and the worlds of music and global celebrations. Projects encourage learners to investigate, analyse, design, and discuss—using art to illustrate scientific ideas, respond to history, and bring personal or cultural stories to life.

Included in every resource pack are clear instructions for teachers and families, step-by-step activities, and printable templates to make preparation easy. Many lessons can be adapted for group, individual, or whole-class exploration, with suggestions for differentiated challenges and creative extensions.

Regularly refreshed with seasonal projects, artist spotlights, and integrated cross-curricular units, the KS2 Art and Design shop ensures an evolving, engaging experience for every teacher, home educator, and student. It’s where technical skill development, critical thinking, and creative confidence unite—supporting children to express themselves, experiment widely, and appreciate the role of art in everyday life and learning.
