Some of the CDLL children took advantage of the sun this morning finding their way to the art table that was full of different activities. First they made pine cone bird feeders. They choose their own pine cone and took their time spreading Crisco then sprinkling bird seeds all over!
Annabella explained, "Wow! This pine cone is really pokey if you touch it in the wrong way and it's easy to slip away with this cooking stuff!".
Aidan said, "Crisco is like butter. It's greasy".
Tony and Serenity were having a conversation about how the birds belly will feel after eating the hard bird seeds.
"What if we were birds and ate this kind of food?" asked Tony.
"I wouldn't like it very much, it doesn't look good" responded Serenity.
"Yeah me neither! What if we could fly? Where would go!" said Tony.
"I would fly so high, that I could see everything!" exclaimed Serenity.
At the second art table outside, many children got to sketch out the bugs that were set out. They would sketch out the bugs that they choose with pencil. Trace it with a black marker so you could see the outline. After, the children were able to paint with water colors!
When Nikayla was asked where she thought lady bugs came from she responded, " They grew in a far away place in the ground that no one knew about them, they dug their way up through the grass to here!"
"I'm going to draw this monarch butterfly. they drink and eat from flowers to get nectar." said William.
"Wow that's smart of you to say!"Nikayla said.
William responded, "Yeah and bees like this one can sting except honey bees because they just make honey"!
Happy Monday!
