Friday!

Forms of Colors, Mixed by Nadia.

We visited the Grassy Playground and the Art Studio on Friday.

ART STUDIO
Color mixing with watercolors and eyedroppers help develop color awareness and fine motor skills.







Color blocks and animals encourage categorization, balance and symmetry.






Sifting and measuring colored rice in cups gives experience with volume, size and conservation. Additionally, it stimulates the sensory parts of the brain that process "touch."





Finger painting on trays also stimulates brain development, yet it is only half of the fun...





...by laying a paper on top and gently peeling it off, we made monoprints! They are the perfect illustration of the concept of symmetry.






TODAY'S STORY
Alphabet Adventure, by Audrey and Don Wood. The whole alphabet goes on a field trip to "Adventure Island." While there, little "i" loses its dot. The other letters all try to help it find a replacement. After trying on such things as a magnet and a star, little "i" settles on a nice round cherry, which he prefers to the original red dot. When the original red dot turns up, the cherry is replaced and they all sail home.
