The Kindergarten children wanted to paint so we decided to use items found in nature to create our own paintbrushes.

First the search was to find the perfect stick.

“This one seems good, it’s straight and strong.”

“I have lots of sticks!”

“I found two to make a roller brush.”

 

Next the children looked for what they thought would make the best brush.

The children created a variety of different paint brushes.

And decided to try out their hands as brushes too.

I can’t wait to see what the children will want to explore next week!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today in one of the Kindergarten classes we read the book Not a Stick by Antoinette Portis

To read this book follow the link below

Not a Stick

After reading the book the children were inspired to make some creations with sticks.

Once they found the perfect sticks this is what they created

We had a great time creating with sticks.  If you create something at home please send me a picture as I would love to see it!!!

Kids love to play in the rain! So why not go outside and enjoy some fun in the puddles and rain drops?  Put on some old clothes, boots and a rain jacket and go outside and jump in the puddles and catch the raindrops on your nose.

.

Bring out some chalk and watch how the rain intensifies and blurs the colours.  You can also bring out a paint brush and paint with the fallen water.

Make a paper boat or find some leaves, sticks and rocks and test out which items will float on a puddle and which will sink.

I encourage you to get on some boots too and go outside and get wet!! Remember it’s only water and when your children are done having fun in the great outdoors you can come home and get changed and dry off!!  Go have some wet fun!!!
