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.

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...:)
