Today had the lowest temperature in four years here, with a daytime "real feel" (thanks Accuweather.com) of -1. Obviously, none of us were going outside to play. We found a way to bring some heat into the room, though.
Fridays are usually a day for review, playtime, and F.U.N. I chose not to think about the near future and broke out many of our supplies at once; I wanted to see how well the children would do with overstimulation and some artful independence. The only rule was we stuck to using warm colors in our paintings, but we used sponges, magazine clippings, toothbrushes, various rollers, fingers, crayons, and bingo markers. The mess at the sink was tiny compared to the fun.
Really, this project was simple and pretty lacking in originality. But, as they tend to do, they make it their own and completely hangable.



I'm getting a little Cy Twombly outta this one.
Love your blog Ry! This looks like a ton of fun - I've been in the market for an easel and some paints. Just need to get my ass out and do it! Take care dude.
