Three Kings

We started from painting the background. I put just a few drops of the paint on kids' pieces of paper. Their task was to spread the paint around on the sheet of paper. Then I added a few more drops of the paint, they repeated spreading. Kids noticed that sometimes you don't have to use the hole can to paint your piece of paper:)) And the effect was much more interesting than when they could apply as much paint as they wished.:)

Then we coloured  three kings black (I had cut out the shapes before the lesson- my artists were too little to do it by themselves). And decorated the sky with stars (sequins, star-shaped pasta, glitter) we didn't forget about the Star of Bethlehem.:)

owl mosaic

I printed  pictures of owls ( kids could draw, but they are 3 and 4 and I wanted them to really focus on decorating and putting together the mosaic). We used pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds, star-shaped
seeds of star anise, some beads and feathers and tissue paper for the background.

Recycled art project: an autumn tree

Old newspaper, tissue paper, buttons and plastic caps. Nice colour of construction paper (I love deep blue) and some chalk passtels.
