Sculpture!!!
This was fun!! The play dough was fun for everyone to explore. My favorite, along with alot of others, was the garlic press; worms galore!!! I also loved the plaster creations, the hand idea didn't quite work out but the sparkles were a definate hit. Oh and thanks to Henry who just wanted to poke and play until his hands were almost part of the plaster. It was a nice switch from paint and I am glad that the kids enjoyed pressing, poking, playing, and forming sculptures.
Next week we are going to Collage!!! Children are going to explore the world of glue, shapes, stickers, and pattern. I think we'll bring back the markers to add alittle more to the exploration.
