Pre-K Co-Op Activities

For our Pre-K/K co-op the last couple of weeks we have been reading books about flowers and gardens.  This week we read...

We painted flowers with flowers...

 We decorated pots and planted seeds...

 We made a collage of a flower...

Art Class

I enrolled Rylen & Christian in a Mommy & Me art class this past Fall and they had a blast.  Tonia was great with the kids and really knew her art so it is very edcational also.  Brogan was even able to participate as extra space and material allowed.

My Little Turkeys

I've had a canvas sitting in our craft closet for awhile so I got it out and we created this last week.  I think it turned out so cute...

It is hanging in my kitchen.  Just a reminder to not eat to much this weekend y'all!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!!

Missions Sale

The Kids For Christ group that Brogan and Codey attend had a missions sale to wrap up their year. The kids had made some items during a couple of the past KFC meetings and they were asked to also bring some items from home if they could. We spent some time Tuesday for our Art time to make a few things to take. We made picture frames, cross shaped boxes and a prayer board. They love to paint so they had lots of fun doing it.

 

Even Christian and Rylen helped make some!

The kids worked the sale on their own and made over $60! The money will be given to a missionary to help with their support or their mission efforts.

Open Ended Art- Turkeys

I have been watching some art activities on Open Ended Art and thought at some point when I get the courage I would try it with the kids and incorporate it for a school activity.  I say get the courage because I am definetly no artist.  My kids however, LOVE art!!  So, though our first contribution to Open Ended Art is not that creative, it is a start and will hopefully continue on my part.

Here are our Turkeys for this week's Open Ended Art theme:

Brogan's new art curriculum included this picture and concentrated on shading and staying in the lines. 

It was perfect for the Thanksgiving holiday and this week's theme.

Brogan also made this turkey at Parent's Night Out at church.  It turned out cute!

This is Rylen's contribution to our turkeys from Sunday School.
