Magnet painting and shaving cream art in the YC - Meghan and Christine

We packed a ton of fun into our week with a couple of super cool art projects, love potion making and an animal matching game. 

On Tuesday the kids got the opportunity to paint using magnets. we dipped large magnetic balls in green, gold and yellow paint and then the kids used magnetic wands to move the balls around on their paper spreading the paint all over.








On Tuesday the kids also got to make "love potions" in clear film canisters which included gems, sequins, baby oil, liquid water color and glitter. The kids had a blast carefully measuring out the items and then shaking up their finished product.




On Thursday we taught the kids how to create prints on watercolor paper using shaving cream and liquid water color. The kids loved adding water color to the shaving cream,  swirling it all around and then dipping their paper in the mixture. They are so beautiful! 









On Thursday the kids also got to play an animal matching game. They had so much fun working together to find the right shapes to put in each little house.







At our texture table the kids poured, measured and scooped.




Water beads, snakes and fish continued to be a ton of fun to play with in the water tub.







At our light table the kids loved building with translucent red and clear blocks and plastic unicorns.




The kids took full advantage of all the fine motor activities available throughout the room.








Our budding artists had a blast with paint, glitter, tape and blue at creation station and our paint easels.




Our play dough area has some new fun items for the kids to play with an explore this week!




These kids LOVE the magna tiles and have spent so much time building with them. They worked individually to make some amazing creations and collectively to make some monster towers.




Mabel received so much love and attention this week.





Friends shared some giggles while playing together. 






At circle time we read about a slug who found a cool shell and a monster who was in our book! We also read a couple of class favorites, The Wonky Donkey and Bark, George. These kids sure do love books!


We also had fun with our vegetable shakers, love yoga, and songs. 





We had such a fun time in the cold, sunny weather outside!







We had so much fun this week with your kids. Next week we start our fairy tale unit and cannot wait to explore the story of the  Three Little Pigs.
Have a great weekend!
