Artsy Thursday!

 We concluded Week of the Young Child with Artsy Thursday! Since the kids did a bulk of the work yesterday at the forest by collecting a variety of nature materials, they had it pretty easy today to assemble a sun catcher. Using the flowers, leaves, and sticks they found yesterday, the kids took some time to place those onto some clear contact paper laid out on a frame. Some were more interested in the activity over some others, but overall it turned out quite lovely! 








We also let the butterflies go today! The video below is quite sweet as they try and navigate how to let them go appropriately as well as some talk about where they would live. This was such a fun little project that allowed the kids to take care of something and watch the magic of nature unfold before their eyes. 

Have a great weekend!

My dad has white skin!"  "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families.  "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
