It's not WHAT we make, but what we LEARN making it.

















I hope that each day your little one looks forward to art time. It's not WHAT we make, but what we LEARN while making it. We are not only learning as we play, we are also taking time to explore our sight, taste, touch, and smell. Last week we learned a little about how polar bears hibernate. We painted polar bears with shaving cream. The children enjoyed touching and smelling the shaving cream. A few of the children said it smelled like daddy. They are so little, yet they are able to piece all sorts of things together, it is amazing. Here are a few pictures of the children painting a polar bear in a snow storm. When I send these home please take time to let your child rub the polar bears fur. The shaving cream will have dried and it will have a furry feel to it. I explained this to the children and I think they are excited to see how it feels now that it is dry.
