Triangles Galore!



Triangles are our shape this month, so I supplied the lambies with triangles in a variety of paper types, sizes, and colors. We had tissue paper triangles, construction paper triangles, and tag board triangles. I sorted them into color families (pink/purple/red, red/orange/yellow, blue/green) and paired them with one color of paint and some white glue. The lambies know what to do by now - they just go for it!

October is Orange



So our colors for this month of October are orange and black, and our shape is the triangle. For the first art class I decided to focus on "orange", and so I made orange-scented, orange-colored homemade playdough for the lambies. I made little oranges out of the dough and added leaves from my orange tree and put them on a pretty serving plate to inspire them, along with a variety of orange colored "tools" for them to use.
