Let's build!
As my kitchen remodel continues we continued with
our construction theme here at Homespun daycare.
Today I set out all types of materials for the kids to build
with. They went to work building new kitchens.
I thought it was so cute they decided they would
 design their own  kitchens as the workmen noisily built my
 new kitchen.The kids loved the independence of using their own
 glue bottles as well as getting to choose what materials they
 wanted for their kitchens. They picked out shiny shapes, colored
 craft sticks, cut up straws and wooden circles. The kids
proudly displayed their kitchen designs for
the workmen to see.  
Supplies needed
Card-stock
Assorted building materials
White glue

Painting with tools

Our week here at Homespun Daycare

is going to be quite a challenge as I am getting 

a new kitchen. No better time than now to do
a construction theme with the kids. As the
workers began tearing down cupboards we learned
all about  the different type of tools they
would be using. The best part of  the day was
painting with tools. Kids and paint go
together like peanut butter and jelly! They
just love painting and had a great time making
prints with the tools and well as using them
like a paint brush.  I always use washable paint
when painting with the kids. You can find
paint as well as  great art and crafts supplies at
www.discountschoolsupply.com. Each picture
 was a beautiful creation of art, no two alike.
That's my favorite part of art that no two pictures are the same.
Supplies needed

washable tempera paint
