Today, our little campers learned about dinosaurs!  After reading a story, they pretended to be dinosaurs and “roared” around the room!  They decorated felt dinosaurs with sequins and buttons.  Magnets were placed on the back of the dinos so they can hang nicely on your refridgerators!

Watching Miss Heather put the glue on!

I like this one!

My dinosaur is so sparkly!

"Mommy will love it!"

Yesterday on our first day of “Let’s Pretend!” our little campers pretended to be firefighters!  During story time, they learned all about firefighters.  They noticed that firefighters in the story have dalmatian dogs that live at the fire station, and they made dalmatians!  They used their thumbprints to make spots!

The dalmatians were mounted onto black paper after they dried!  Next, our little campers made badges!  They decorated them with stickers.

On Friday, our little artists chose from glitter, feathers, pom-poms, ribbon, stickers, and markers and made collages!  The artists had a lot of fun and the collages turned out great!

This week our kings and queens were quite busy! We made banners, crowns, dragons, wands, and even a sugar cube castle! We went on a treasure hunt inside our classroom and picked for frozen treasure outside on “Water Thursday”! During science this week we explored sunlight.

Yesterday, our little artists made art with popcorn!  The popcorn was sprinkled with Kool-Aid powder to give it some color.

Looks like someone got a little hungry!

The final product!

Today, our little artists painted with ice cubes!  Our artists colored the paper with an ice cube, then sprinkled Kool-Aid powder on top, and used a wet paintbrush to spread the powder.  They turned out to be really neat!  Once the paintings were dry, they were mounted on black paper.

It's cold!

I did it!!

Look, I'm spreading it!

Yesterday, our little artists talked about colors again.  They chose either blue or yellow paint, and then painted bubble wrap!  They made a print of the bubble wrap on a piece of construction paper.

"I want blue because it matches my shirt!"

Press the paper down!

Wow!

Look what I did!

Mommy will love it!

Today, on our first day of “Little Artists at Work”, our little artists talked about their favorite colors!  They dipped crayons into different colors of paint they like, then placed the crayons in a pitcher lined with paper.  They shook the containers very fast!

The little artists were so excited to see how their paintings turned out after shaking!

The paintings were mounted on black paper after they dried.

Today, our little zoo keepers were so busy monkeying around!  Look at what they made today!

Monkey Mask!

After reading Oliver’s Milkshake today we made a healthier version…fresh berry smoothies.  Delicious!

Adding Fresh Berries

Don't forget the yogurt!
