In December we learned about accidental art by making gifts to give to our loved ones. There were 6 stations that the children could move through making different items.
1. water color gift tags
2. marble-rolling in paint wrapping paper
3. ink drop coasters
4. fabric-decorated art frames, plus one of our parents took each child outside individually for their own photo which was emailed to the parent to place in the frame
5. make & take granola
6. flower transfers on fabric - which could either be used as gift wrap or art itself.
meal : Soup & Salad bar.
Need to figure out how to make it clear that these are gifts. Idea! Perhaps we discuss before beginning and make a list of the people we want to make gifts for...?
MAYBE! We open this up to other clubs who can come for a nominal fee ($5-$8?) to make gifts too, and use to help the club do some group activity (water park, overnight trip, etc) - a club funding activity...?!
