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.

The Lambies Paint Jack-O-Lanterns, Lambie-Style

What a super-fun Halloween we had on all counts this year! At the Lambies we had lots of process-art fun making free-form jack-o-lanterns. 

Halloween Sculptures

In October I did a really fun manipulative process art project with the "lambies" (that's our name for the little one's who attend this preschool - so sweet!). I went to the dollar store and bought styrofoam discs (2 for $1!). Then to Michaels for pipe cleaners, beads, and paint in halloween colors with a few other colors thrown in for variety. The lambies had a blast making these!
