Scratch It Art Pack
$5.75 inc. GST
A hands-on scratch art activity that reveals rainbow colours hidden beneath a black surface, this pack suits creative sessions in residential aged care, day programs, and at home. Includes two A5 rainbow scratch sheets, two stencils, and a wooden scratch tool. No paint, no mess, and no preparation needed.
This scratch art pack reveals hidden rainbow colours through simple mark-making
Scratch art works by removing a black top layer to uncover the colours underneath. It’s a quiet, absorbing activity that suits ability levels and works well in aged care activity programs or one-to-one sessions at home. Unlike painting or colouring, there’s no colour to apply and no mess to manage, just a wooden tool, a scratch sheet, and whatever pattern or picture the person wants to create.
What’s included
- 2 A5 rainbow scratch sheets
- 2 stencils for pattern guidance
- 1 wooden scratch tool
How it works in a session
The stencils give people a starting point if they want one, or they can scratch freehand. The process is smooth and quiet, which makes it well suited to calming or wind-down sessions. In a group, comparing the colours and patterns that emerge can prompt easy, low-pressure conversation. As an art craft kit that requires no setup beyond opening the pack, it’s easy to bring out at short notice.
- Freehand exploration: Offer the scratch sheet without the stencil first and invite the person to make marks freely, then talk about the colours and shapes that appear.
- Stencil-guided session: Use the included stencils as starting points for a themed session, such as nature patterns or geometric designs.
- Group comparison: Run scratch art alongside music or gentle conversation and invite participants to share their finished pieces, noting how different mark-making techniques produce different results.
- Display and reflect: Pin completed scratch art pieces in a communal area and use them as a conversation prompt in a follow-up session.
- Paired activity: Sit with a resident one-to-one and take turns suggesting what to scratch next, keeping the interaction light and collaborative.
