Exploring Winter Sports at the Art Table

The art table was set with cork people doing a variety of winter sports.

           Luge, skiing, snowboarding and bobsledding.

   I mixed shaving cream with white paint to make it fluffier.

The focus soon changed to straight airs, 720s and other snowboarding
       jumps (we checked the computer to learn the names).

To make these jumps happen props needed to be added, like tubes

  1. Using the cork people was brilliant! This is the second time I've seen shaving cream mixed with paint to create snow, so it's definitely an idea we have to try soon. Great work.

    1. Thanks Renae. The corks are the perfect size and shape for the little ones to hold on to.
