Summer Art

Len (our sets and props expert) has very kindly given us a bag of used lighting acetates which we can use for art - don't you just love recycling? Today we made really nice paintings of beach scenes. We used the acetates as sails for our boats, as sun umbrellas, and even as an ice-cream. We wanted the sand in our pictures to look and feel like sand so we mixed white, orange, and yellow paint with sand from our sand pit. The sand on our pictures is perfect!
There will be a nice surprise for our Dads when they see their Father's Day cards on Sunday. Have a great weekend Dads.

Under the Sea

Now that the summer has come, we are looking forward to spending time on the beach. We know lots of animals and fish that live in the seas. Look at the lovely finger and sponge printed pictures we made of "under the sea".
