Last week we made beautiful branches by weaving ribbons and yarn through branches. We created nature light switch covers for our bedrooms. We made nature gardens in clay. And of course nature printing of leaves, grass...whatever the kids could find in nature! It was a beautiful sunny day! We've put Iyla's branch in our garden for some color, I love it. That was my favorite of the day. Her light switch cover is in our bedroom. All of these activities are a fun way to get outside and look for different shapes and colors in nature.
This week, we are going to concentrate on making paper bag kites. The weather is calling for a chance of showers so we will set up under the covered area incase. But this could mean we might have some wind to fly our kites...that is if they dry in time. We were outside yesterday and saw some kids with some kites and thought it would be a great time making our own. So, I've got streamers, sparkles, paints, stickers everything to make the brightest, shiniest masterpiece in the sky!
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.

Hi Becky,
I just came across your blog and am so excited to see the work you are doing with children. I too believe wholeheartedly that children should be allowed to explore their own creativity in their own way without being restricted by rules and judgement.
Colouring in pages will never have a place in my art classes lol
What you are doing looks amazing, keep up the great work,
Ally :)
