Hermit Crab Painting

Today we had two visitors in our classroom Bonnie and Joe who are hermit crabs.

After reading the story Hermit Crabs New Home they decided to show us how to beautify our classroom with some original art special made by them.

First they took a bath in liquid water colors, and then they crawled out of the color onto sheets of paper.

Leaving a color trail behind them

We now have hermit art hanging in our classroom to remind us of our new friends.

Thank you Cindy, for stopping by our classroom and sharing the talent of your two hermit crabs.  Please stop by any time we loved having you!

Making Crawfish in Preschool

We made crawfish out of egg cartons

Children painted the egg carton with glue paint and them embellished them with glitter and any other items they wanted to use for their crawfish

We Used Sticks for Art

Today we made art with all of our found sticks.

Children painted sheets of foam with shades of blue and green and then they stuck sticks into the foam.

Next the children added colored floral rocks, cut out fish, yarn, pipe cleaners, wooden beads, and netting. 

We now have these beautiful art pieces setting around our classroom.

There is nothing quit like art made by children.
