Spring Has Sprung!

Spring is officially here and we had a great time at preschool this week learning all about the seasons changing. It feels like spring has been here for a month or so, but these kids aren't short on imagination so it wasn't too difficult for them to pretend the ground was just warming up.


The colors of spring are just so fun! Sierra did a great job of patterning the beautifully colored noodles on her necklace. An impromptu puppet show brought some serious drama to the preschool room.
Looking for signs of spring.
Making discoveries- ladybugs, flowers, grass, though no caterpillars (we sure looked though)
Thank goodness art is more about the process than the project because this is one of those projects that didn't go as planned. My idea of beautiful vibrant tissue flowers stiffened by starch didn't work! Oh well, the children enjoy anything with a paintbrush and paper.

What is spring without some mud squishing through fingers and toes. Since we had to do it inside because of the wind, I was sure glad this was the "clean" variety of mud.


Flowers, flowers everywhere...and a beautiful girl hiding amid them.
In case you were wondering, this is a celebration that included santa claus, a t-rex, high-heeled shoes for the ladies, cookies, flowers, flowers and more flowers. They were happy, cooperative and highly imaginative and did not want to stop, even for snack!
Cute as can be!

Really, they were excited to plant flowers and peas. This picture was snapped at the end when they were all dirty and tired.


Who can resist digging through more dirt?



A spontaneous art project with some glue and dirt. The result was actually pretty good and the kids got to explore a little of their creative side.


What a fun week! The children did such a great job of following instructions, working together and participating in all the activities.
