Murals can be created using any theme, animals of the world, seasons, different types of homes, transportation, multicultural topics etc, alternatively they can incorporate a selection of all of the topics covered during the year.


They can depict life cycles such as; frogs, butterflies, plants and animals etc.


Murals can incorporate talking points for addition, subtraction, size language, and positional language etc.

For example:

"Can you point to the BIG Bear?"
"Is this Bear BIGGER?"
"Which bear is the BIGGEST?"
"What colour is the snake UP the tree?"
" How many snakes are DOWN on the ground?"
"Who is BEHIND the bush?"
"What animal is IN FRONT of the bush?"
"What is ON TOP of the Hippo's head?"


A Mural within a childcare setting is a useful tool for enabling children to feel at home and comfortable as it instantly creates a child friendly fun environment, which can be used as a talking point to help settle a child and initiate communication, it also inspires parents to feel confident and happy about the child's place of care.


Murals in Settings are inspirational talking points for children and staff alike and can be utilised as a permanent teaching aid, especially in group work and circle times as well as individual one on one communication. They can also provide inspiration for song times, for example:

"Look at the big red bus, who knows a song about a bus?"


Example a Zoo or Jungle scene:

"Can you slither like the snake?"
"Let's all hop like the frog."
"All join in as we flutter like the Butterflies."
