Friday's art- Snow Art -Feb.23-

It was a wonderful time to having Snow Art like today!!


Supplies are:
-Very fresh snow just got from outside :)
-Coloured water of green, orange, purple, blue. ( few drops of food colouring + water)
-Cups
-Q-tips
-Syringes

 They tried to change finger strength to explore how much the water could bring into the pippet.


 

We are learning about generosity and sharing. 
Each table has limited cups that coloured water.
"Can I have blue colour ?
"We will share"
"Here you are"
We heard some sweet conversations between children.


Just near the end, two children noticed,
" Naomi ! It's like coloured water is eating snow! "
"Yeah, like monster!!"

They noticed melting is not only caused by ambient temperature but that coloured water also made snow melt.

The children all enjoyed themselves until the snow half melted.
