A Child's Introduction to Materials

Creative Exploration is a process based class that introduces children to a variety of different materials. Each week there is a common theme explored through a series of art stations. Each station is a different example of how that weeks material can be used. Children are free to move around and explore each station as they please. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children.

Creative Exploration was created to encourage children to explore and use their imaginations. The concept of the class was created with the hope that it would instill a strong foundation, at a young age, giving the child the ability to think outside the box with confidence.

Land of all kinds of Markers cont...







Today was the first day of 'Creative Exploration.' I had planned over and over in my head how I was going to introduce the class and each table. What I was going to say and how I was going to losely structure the class time. Well the kids started to arrive and just got to it! Never mind any introductions. The mural was a huge hit, which I am so happy about, it looked great! I love group projects! I was happy to finally meet everyone in person and to watch the children go crazy on the nearest piece of paper!

Please feel free to leave a comment on how you thought the class went and if you have any ideas or suggestions for next time. Thank you

Recipes:

Bathtub Crayon Soap

you will need:
Soap flakes
water
food coloring
electric mixer
ice cube tray
mixing bowl
plastic spoons

Combine 2 cups of water with a generous 1/4 cup of soap flakes and mix until stiff with an electric mixer. Spoon the soapy mixture into an ice cube tray. Add 2 to 3 drops of food coloring to each section and mix with a coffee stir stick or spoon. Let the soap harden. These crayons are great fun in the bathtub.

Homemade Rainbow Crayons

you will need:
broken crayons
small muffin tin

Fill each muffin tin with four or five different colored broken crayon pieces. Place in a 400 oven just long enought for the crayons to melt. Watch carefully, they melt fast! If you leave them too long they will melt together. They cool quickly and pop out of the tins easier when put in the freezer.

Solid Color Crayons

Fill sauce pan with 2 1/2 inches of water. Take an empty tin can and pinch the top to create a pouring spout. Set the can in the water. Using medium heat, bring water to boil. Fill the can with broken crayons of same color. When they have melted, pour melted wax into paper cupcake liners. Try layering different colors. Or try making new colors by mixing together colors, ex. mix blue and yellow to make green.

Remeber next week is PAINTING!!! So wear your grubbies because it is going to be messy! I can't wait to see the photos.
