$43.50

Celebrate creativity, belonging, and family connections with Scratch Art Ties. Perfect for Father’s Day, Someone Special celebrations, and meaningful early learning experiences. Pack of 30 pre-cut tie shapes 10 x 29cm. Black coating over rainbow paper with 30 scratch tools and 30 pieces of elastic (40cm long) included.

Encourage children to celebrate the important people in their lives with these colourful Scratch Art Ties. This engaging craft activity combines creativity, self-expression, and meaningful learning through hands on exploration.

Ideal for Early Learning Centres, Schools, Outside School Hours Care, family day care, and community programs, these Scratch Ties inspire children to create unique keepsakes for someone special. Furthermore, they encourage conversations about family, caring relationships, and the many people who help children feel safe, loved, and connected.

Each pre-cut tie features a black scratch surface hiding vibrant rainbow colours beneath. Children simply use the included wooden stylus to reveal colourful patterns, symbols, drawings, or heartfelt messages. Every completed tie becomes a one-of-a-kind artwork celebrating identity and belonging. Team up with A4 Cardboard such as white cardboard to make cards.

This creative experience supports the Early Years Learning Framework by encouraging children to develop a strong sense of identity and connection with others. It also promotes confidence, communication, creativity, and wellbeing through purposeful art experiences.
As children carefully scratch their designs, they strengthen fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, and pencil control. Meanwhile, they explore pattern, line, shape, and colour while expressing their own ideas and experiences.

Educators can use this activity to support discussions about families in all their diversity. Children may choose to create a tie for a father, grandfather, uncle, step-parent, foster carer, Elder, mentor, or another significant person. This inclusive approach celebrates every child’s unique relationships and experiences.

The included elastic also allows children to transform individual artworks into colourful classroom bunting. As a result, educators can create collaborative displays that promote teamwork, belonging, and shared achievement.
Whether celebrating Father’s Day, “Someone Special” events, or family-focused learning, these Scratch Art Ties create lasting memories while supporting meaningful educational outcomes.
