Creativity and Movement: The Little Sparkly Lights of Joy
We have been practicing a ton of joy and color in the classroom. I recently transitioned to an indoor classroom with a younger age Montessori Primary classroom. With the change I have had to restructure the types of art and crafts that we do. I have definitely enjoy the challenge. It has challenged my brain to adapt the way I teach. It has also invigorated my belief that art can be taught as any age and more importantly that the jot of creativity is universal crossing age and economic background. I feel BLESSED to be able to share this with the younger generation.

Creativity and Movement: Popsicle Stick Sailboats
We have this basin that I have been wanting to utilize. Did you know that children and water play go hand in hand? Popsicle sticks, glue, markers and cardboard from random boxes.
We explored:
- how large or small the sail should be
- how long the boats can be submerged before the school glue gives out
- what we can do to cause the boat to move.
The whole process was a three day project which can be difficult for preschoolers. Also the patience it takes to glue the popsicle sticks just so. Day 1 we glued the raft portion of the boat. Day 2 we design the sail and attached it to the raft. Day 3 was sail day.

Creativity and Movement: Preschoolers Engage with Picasso
I have been trying to come up with a way to teach the Master Artists to our preschool class. The environment is set up in such a way that the children are allowed to come and go between the two environments - inside and outside - which does not really lend itself to holding and capturing their imagination. I attempted to connect with our local art museum and unfortunately the art programs they offer do not have curriculum for 3-5 year olds.
In the meantime I found this beautiful coloring page by Picasso and have invited the children to play with colored pencils. Then we cut and glue the figure onto construction to give it a look of framed art.
Here is a link to this template - yep another great opportunity to play!

Creativity and Movement: Owls Come in Whimsical Packages
For this project, we used good old paper plates, markers, crayons, watercolors and construction. Why don't you have a go as a meditation practice. Quietly gather the supplies and find a quiet area to work and play.

Creativity and Movement: Tell us a Story About Birds That Don't Fly...
We had a fun time using our imaginations and coming up with ways to help birds that DO NOT fly. In the scenario we came up with, we decided to allow balloons to become the bird's companions. We had a lot of fun with naming the birds and talking about what types of birds do not fly.

Creativity and Movement: Make Some Music with Your Turtle Tambourines
The rain has paid a visit quite a few times in our outdoor environment. This can be a little tricky when trying to plan projects outdoors. You have to take into account the rain and the potential winds. Our environment has a slope in the middle so the water pools right in the middle of the outdoor classroom until the drains can catch with the downpour.
We made the most of making some sunshine by making a musical instrument we fondly call a turtle tambourine.
