a penguin in Santa's hat

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.

Rousseau's jungle

I found some photos in one of my old files.
We did this project two years ago. I prepared paper
leaves, flowers, trees and animals.
I had to cut everything out,
my students were to small to do it by themeselves.
We started from  Rousseau's artworks.
We talked about colours, plants and animlas.
And then everybody created his own little jungle...:)

Colourful lizards

RoboCats

It was a really difficult project, esspecially for 3 and 4 years-olds.
Now I know it's rather for school kids than those from kindergarten.
My little artists had some problems with sticking things-
they were not enough patient and precise... Some of them were crying: "I can't stick the nose [whiskers/eyes/ etc.] It's stupid".
I won't try this project with such small kids again :(

Spring Birdie

Polar bears

I came across this project on the blog  thatartistwoman. My children love working with stensils, so the project was perfect for them. We watched some polar bears videos, then painted- purple sky and light blue ice,  and white bears (using stensils of course:)

Have you ever seen a penguin wearing a yellow scarf?

Elks and the snowstorm

Wax paper, stensils ( for the elks:) and paint.                    So easy and so wintry!

Penguins

Last Friday we had a Penguin Printmaking

project. The idea comes from the blogs: 

thatartistwoman.org 

and linesdotsanddoodles.blogspot.com.  

We made the stamps from big (black body) and 

small ( white bellies) potatoes. We used the craft 
 foam to make the snow and clouds. 

 

Our Owls

This is a very simple and delightful project. Oil pastels and paint.

To whit to whoooo...
