Chilly Wednesday

CDLL Families,

Today the children experienced a colder day but were still able to enjoy time outside. For the past few weeks in the Oak room, the children have had the opportunity to work with items from nature in a more artistic way. This week, Mud paint was added to the easels for the children to paint with. Also at the finger painting area acorns have been introduced as a painting aide. Within the room the children are also able to sketch corn and use watercolor to paint in what they are drawing. It has been enjoyable for the teachers to see the children experiencing different art forms and seeing what they create with the materials.
"I am making brown to match the seeds." - Luke

Pelumi traced the corn because he wanted to get the correct texture for his painting.

Ofure used the acorns to create artwork. While painting she said, "I made a rainbow."
Have a great night!
