Many times we do projects with a specific end result in mind. I try to balance out our more structured activities with open ended ones as well. One morning this week I taped long pieces of paper onto our art table and had Eve choose whatever she wanted to do with it. Eve ended up choosing paint, a variety of paint rollers and brushes, a heart sponge stamp, a rubbing plate and her own two hands to leave her mark on the paper!
ReplyDeleteLove those little hands and fingers of Evey Pie!
What a great idea to spread out large sheets of paper and just 'go for it'! I love the ♥hearts♥.
Do this again. I'm imagining you doing it in the warmer months outside on your picnic table!
Please, tell Miss Eve that I love her choices!
Love, Maddy

My heart lifts every time I see these free expression activities that the children do. The freedom, the choices, the creativity, the pride in creating a colorful, diverse piece of art, love it all, and love, love, love the artists.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed how Eve easily approaches this task, doing more and more, trying different tools, always with a big smile and glee.
I want to give her a big love squeeze.
XOXOXO,
