The children were tasked with carefully assigning colours to the different fruits in their bowls. To do this, they relied on visual references—drawing on their prior knowledge from story time, snack time, and home life—to ensure they selected the correct colours for fruits like bananas, apples, pears and oranges. The activity strongly encouraged the children to select the correct colours for their chosen fruits, which enforced greater control and legibility in their digital mark-making. By focusing on specific colour selection rather than free choice, the children practiced intentionality and precision within the digital environment.
