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.

Valentine's Day Crafts














Valentine's crafts were fun! Iyla and I made some salt dough heart shapes the night before for painting. Iyla loved that table, I think she painted 10. Oh and lets not forget the sparkles! Anyone elses magnets not stick because of sparkles?
I loved the heart flowers personally. I have them in my window sill, they are so retro looking. I should post a photo of the few that we made. I got the idea from maya made, I have a link under my links list, check it out. I brought back the beads and pipe cleaner because who doesn't love a heart shaped beaded pipe cleaner? And thanks to Henry and Faye's dad we learnt that you can make a skateboard out of beads and pipe cleaner too.
I got crafty and made some potato heart stamps which worked great! I loved the look of the texture they left behind. I also set up a table full of heart collage. That was a pretty fun table full of sparkle glue, heart cut outs, ink stamps, and markers. I personally really liked the look of the newspaper hearts, something about the unplanned look of the cut out. Iyla and I had a great time preparing and creating the Valentine's day crafts!
Hope everyone has a great, happy Valentine's day and will see you all next week.
Becky & Iyla
PS A big congrats to Max who is now a BIG brother to his new little sister Linden. So exciting!

Whoa, did she have her baby right after class? I just saw her picture with Max, so she was there yesterday and I was sadly not. So did she already have her baby before the class or after?

I'm so nosy!
