This week we continued our water theme with a focus on the ocean!
{group #1}
This group used watercolors to paint over painter’s tape to make their initials. They used their fine motor skills to brush the watercolors all over the paper during this art experience.
{group #2}
In this group, the children had to close their eyes, reach into the bag, and pull out a crab {keeping the ocean/water theme} with a letter on it. They had to identify it, say the sound that it made, and come up with a name of something or someone that starts with that letter. The objective of this activity was to practice letter recognition and letter sounds.
{group #3}
This was a two part group…at the beginning of the day, the children made “sand” with sandy colored paint and a stringing sponge. After it dried {just in time for small groups}, the children made handprint crabs!
