Brought art class outside for our last class of September’s session! The outdoor space has been a long time coming and there is still more to add but good things take time and I can’t wait to see how the space changes through the seasons of play!

We had a fully stocked mud kitchen with flowers, crab apples, acorns, pinecones and leaves. Water stations to mix colorful water into their muddy creations. As they explore the mud kitchen they are working on so many skills: imaginative play, communication skills, mixing, measuring, pouring, motor skills…the play opportunities are endless!

Painting hanging leaves out side as the leaves fell around them was so fun! The leaves blew around and the artists had to use lots of concentration and energy to get the paint on these billowing leaves!

These past two art classes were filled with all the beauty that comes with this change of season!

In the sensory bin we explored a rice and beans filled bin with leaves, sunflowers, and tree trays to fill and create little autumn scenes. For the 2nd class we explored spiced oobleck, which had cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger mixed in! We had gems and leaves within the oobleck to scoop, pour, make pies, and more!

The play dough table had cinnamon dough and then autumn color dough, lots of new autumn stampers, rollers, and cutters. We created dough homes for some animals that we see roaming and preparing for a long winter!

We painted autumn trees with spice filled paints, stamped apple on tea towels, created watercolor pictures adding leaves and flowers to see what could be left when they dry, and a loose parts autumn tree!

I’m excited for our last class of this session which will bring us into a new outdoor space where we can explore art, sensory, and nature together even more!

We missed you in August!!! I hope everyone had a great month filled with summer fun, the dog days are behind us and it’s time to slow down into the harvest season (some may say, the best season) 🍎😍🌻

Pink Flamingos & Strawberry Lemonade! 🦩🍋

In the last class of the July session we had a refreshing strawberry lemonade sensory bin! Squeezing juice out of lemons and mixing them together with pink chia seed “strawberry” cubes created the sweetest little summer drinks! The little artists explored the icy cold sensation of the ice cubes and the gloopy chia seeds as they melted, and used lots of muscles to squeeze juice out of the lemons 🧊🍓🍋

We used bright neon paints to drip and flow all over mini plastic lawn flamingos 🦩 I love how these open ended art experiences allow the children to explore colors, work on their fine motor skills, and get creative in a yes space! You want more paint to drip & squeeze out all over these flamingos, you got it artist! You want to rub the paint all around like lotion on your arms & the flamingos, go for it artist!! Becoming comfortable with mess and happy accidents is the first step in building confidence in their creative process! 🫶🏽

We had a fizzy station where we explored baking sodas reaction to vinegar and lemon juice! Adding these acids to baking soda creates a sizzling, bubbly explosion on our page and many of the little artist spent lots of time exploring here! 🫧

At the dough station we had strawberry scented chia seed play dough to explore! The little artist spent time creating with the dough, rolling, squishing, and adding bits and pieces to make their masterpiece!

The second class of July called for summers favorite treat, ICE CREAM! 🍦

The sensory bin was a Neapolitan scoop shop, complete with strawberry & chocolate sauce, cherries, cups and cones! The little artists stacked their cones and cups full, scooping big mounds of cornstarch & conditioner “ice cream”, then decorating their scoops with sauces and sprinkles! This looked so real and so delicious, we really had to resist the urge to taste 👅 🍦😆

We tried out painting with air dry clay! Using cone shapes we encouraged the little artist to pinch pieces of the squishy clay and press it across the cardboard, mixing different hues and creating a swirly treat! They loved exploring this different texture, mixing, pulling, and squishing the clay, some even tried squishing it with their toes!!! We also found that air dry clay makes for great bouncy balls, which added a layer of fun and chaos to class 😍🍦🎨

We had our play dough station stocked with ice cream and popsicles bits and bob and had a melted ice cream paint station where we used cones to stamp circles of paint! 😊

Julys session is full of summer fun, we started off with an ocean theme!

The sensory bin was filled with shells, jelly trapped sea animals, and rice paper seaweed! We dug through the gelatin castles to rescue the sea animals, swimming them through the water and putting them in boats to float on their ocean 🌊🦀🐬🐠🐙

We created negative space art by placing shells and starfish, and cardboard jelly fish on pieces of water color paper then spraying them with liquid watercolor. When the little artist removed the pieces from their paper it revealed a silhouette of what was there! Using spray bottles works so many muscles in the little artists hands, preparing them for future writing work! ⭐️🪼🐚✍🏻💪🏽

At the play dough table we created under water scenes with shimmering gems, shells, coral, and Nemo’s friends! 🪸

Celebrated Americas 250th year of independence with the little artists! We painted with bowling balls and then brought the paint on our hands to the big paper on the wall, made some spin art stars with a salad spinner, used red & blue play dough, and explored a rice bin with lots of stars and patriotic colors! 🇺🇸🎨👋🏽♥️
