The Mitten

 

The Mitten

 Do you have a special pair of mittens? Or maybe a special hat or blanket that someone made for you?

Today we are going to listen to a story about a boy and his mittens.

We are going to make our own mitten, and a collection of animals to put inside.

Invitation to Create - Snowmen

 

Invitation to Create - Snowmen

 

Tis the time of year for all things cold and wintery, especially Snowmen! 

But we don't always have snow to build one with.

Is there anything else we could use when we get the inspiration to make a snowman?

'Snowballs' is a book that might give us some ideas.

Can you make your own collage snowman?

Can you use your imagination and give your snowy friend a personality and a name?

Sculptures Have a Skin

 

Sculptures have a Skin

In our sculpture studio we make sure our sculptures are finished by adding a "skin." 

 What is a skin? It is something that covers the surface of your sculpture, just like our skin covers our body.

You may want to add color by using paint, colored construction paper, makers, crayons or oil pastels, foil or fabric. 

You may want to use embellishments such as pom poms or beads once your sculpture is dry.

If I Was An Animal

 

If I was an animal...

Think about some characteristics that you have.  What words describe you?

Talkative?  Shy?  Funny?  Strong?  Loyal?

Could the words that describe you, also describe an animal?

What would that animal be?

Talkative?

Shy?

Funny?

Strong?

Loyal?
