Rainbows! (Who Doesn't Love 'Em?)


Really, who doesn't love rainbows? I've taught kids of all ages and they always love rainbows (and unicorns?)!

Gigantic, Beautiful, Messy Pastel Flowers!


So before the huge rainy season this year we had our rainforest mural up in the backyard at the lambies. I just had to have them add big beautiful and colorful flowers to this beauty!

Playdoh "Scent-sory" Play Day

Okay, so I'm way behind on my posting these days - what with this thing, that thing, and the other thing getting in the way - but here I am now ready to play some catch up.

This past fall I wanted to explore "scent" sensory play so I created three different smelling homemade playdohs, in three colors. Using organic essential oils mixed in with an all natural playdoh recipe, I made Green Mint, Orangey Orange, and Lemon Yellow doughs. And of course, you can't forget about the glitter!

Process Paintings are Beautiful!


Once again I am humbled by the exploratory and adventurous art-making attitudes of the lambies. This week I wanted to give them another chance just to play with color and different painting tools.

Little Blue + Little Yellow



A few weeks ago (I'm very behind on my blogging!) I brought the book Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni. If you don't know the story, it is about a little blue blob and a little yellow blob that are BFFs and when they hug each other they turn green!

Autumn Soup Sensory Play Day, Yay!


In my research on what to do with the lambies a couple of weeks ago I came across this post from And Next Comes L. She created a sensory play bin with these acrylic leaves on Amazon.

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.
