Art Studio Fun

Today in the Art studio, the children used their hands to mix colored shaving cream and sand colors together to make prints. The children also made up a skit on the stage with Ms. Cosgrove, did yoga on the circle time rug and made up a story about five little dogs. The Art studio was busy today with the children staying inside due to the rain. The crazy weather we had today also led the children into the indoor movement room at the end of the day to make their own thunderstorm with their hands, instruments and thunder tubes.

Carter K. Fifi, and Helena did yoga together. They looked through many cards and finally decided that this was their favorite and tried it out.

Tony, Pelumi and Kaden worked at the shaving cream and sand station. Tony mixed all the colors together then smashed a piece of paper onto it to see what print he made. Kaden and Pelumi used their hands to make prints and then put a piece of paper of the print they created on the table. Tony said, "You can see all the colors on my paper."

We finished our day making rain noises, and our own thunderstorm in the indoor movement room! It was a lot of fun for the students and the staff. The children listened very well to the instructions and it made our rain storm even better!
