Interdisciplinary creative activities

Here are some ideas for bringing Aqua Resin into the classroom in an engaging way that is consistent with the curriculum.

1. History of art: ancient-style casts

Children can create medallions or reliefs inspired by Greek or Roman art. A practical way to talk about archaeology, myths, and ancient decoration.

What you need: Aqua Resin, molds with classic motifs, pigments for aging the effect (ochre, bronze), brushes.

Bonus idea: link the activity to a visit to a local archaeological museum.

2. Science: Fossil Footprints

Recreate the effect of fossils like those of plants, shells, or dinosaurs in your classroom. Children will understand how they form and can take them home.

What you need: Aqua Resin, shells, leaves, small objects, plastic containers, brown/grey pigments.

How to: Make a flat base, press the object to create the imprint, let it harden and color to simulate the stone effect.

3. Geometry and shapes

Use Aqua Resin to discuss geometric shapes, symmetry, and volume. Children can pour the mixture into geometric molds and analyze the results.

Suggested activities: create solid figures (pyramids, cubes, cylinders), then measure their height, base, and surface area.

Connection: solid geometry, measurements, abstract art.

4. Education in affectivity: handprints

A special workshop where each child creates their own imprint. It can be linked to a reflection on uniqueness, identity, and belonging to a group.

Materials: Aqua Resin or Love Cast Kit , water, low containers.

Extra idea: Collect all the fingerprints and create a collective installation in the classroom.

5. Art education: decorations to color

Create simple shapes (hearts, stars, animals) with Aqua Resin and let children decorate them freely with paint, glitter, collage, fabrics.

Objectives: to stimulate free expression, visual composition, and aesthetic sense.

Tip: Use Aqua Pigment to color the mixture directly or as a base for decoration.

Tips for the teacher

• Prepare materials before entering the classroom

• Organize the phases into blocks (preparation, pouring, decoration)

• Protect desks with paper or plastic

• Involve children in cleaning tools

• Work in small groups for more effective management

• Leave room for narration: every object created can become a story

How much material do you need?

With 1 kg of Aqua Resin you can do:

• 8–10 medium medallions or molds

• 4–5 hand casts

• 20 small Christmas decorations

• Approximately 6 complete individual activities

The classic preparation is:
100 g of Aqua Resin + 50 g of water or Aqua Shield

To increase the durability and resistance of your creations, always use Aqua Shield instead of water.

The importance of working with your hands

In the digital age, rediscovering the value of manual skills is essential. Mixing, pouring, decorating: these are actions that develop coordination, concentration, and imagination. Using Aqua Resin in school also means restoring meaning to doing , valuing slow time, and building shared memories.
