After learning about the letter "A" and coloring the corresponding coloring pages, we gathered at the tables for our craft.
This week we made apple prints. I cut an apple in half, gave one half to each child, and let them paint the apples with a paintbrush and then make prints on paper.
This week we made apple prints. I cut an apple in half, gave one half to each child, and let them paint the apples with a paintbrush and then make prints on paper.
We used red, green and yellow paint, discussing how these are the typical colors for apples. The kids really concentrated on their work.
After making the apple prints, some kids went on to paint the paper with the paintbrush. I let them do this since they enjoyed it so much.
One of the students really got into painting the apple, and wanted to keep the apple afterwards. I thought that was really cute. Everyone is their own artist!
Because the children are so young, I'm keeping the crafts very simple.
It's really more about the process at this age. (At least in my opinion! Hopefully the parents will agree).
