Plastercine Play

While we were studying frogs I put plastercine out on the art table.

I moved our aquarium with the frogs and tadpoles to the table

and added some toy frogs for models.

Great fine motor work as well as expressing their creativity.

The end result - lots of frogs and maybe a tadpole or two.

Art from the Beach

 
On the weekend my daughter and I spent some time at the beach collecting rocks, shells and driftwood.  I set them out on the art table today with plastercine, markers and I plugged in the glue gun too.
 
   
The children were busy colouring the rocks and shells.  Busy attaching the shells to rocks and rocks to driftwood using the plastercine or hot glue.
         
               
    
           
  And just exploring each item for it’s feel and taste.
               

Art Table Question

      
This morning’s art started with this question,
“What can you make with styrofoam and toothpicks?” 

This is how the children answered.
 
 
     
 
   
 
    
 
     
     

A Few Extras from this Week

We revisited the tin foil painting craft but used blue and white paint
to make it look like winter and snow.

We saw hairballs and snowmen and more.


We built snow sculptures with foam peanuts and toothpicks.


We were the north wind and blew snowballs around

an ever changing maze.
