One of our favorite activities is to let the children look into their own mirrors and then draw what they see. You never know what kind of "art" you'll get with 3-year-olds, but this group took their work very seriously! They'd look studiously into their mirrors and then immediately draw a pair of eyes, then look again and draw a mouth--I think we're going to have a lot of talented artists!
After a little self-study, it was time to draw!
Earlier this week we traced our physical shapes onto large white paper. Today we cut each child's out and let them go to down decorating their bodies. Some were really into the unique format (or maybe it was just the fact that the gym floor was our venue--changing the scenery is always fun!), others not so much. But we think we ended up with a lot of nice--and unique!--paper dolls!
Some of our kiddos were so into this activity, they even volunteered to help their friends!
We even had one bright little lady practice drawing her letter of the week: A. We are always learning in K-3!
Remember, no school on Monday! Happy Labor Day to our precious families!
