1s Paint, Sand, and Water

This week the 1s class continued to explore the tempera paint with their hands and various tools. In addition to the paint, I offered each child a bowl of colored sand (play sand mixed with powdered tempera paint) as an added textural experience. The children were fascinated as they mixed, scooped, and rubbed the sand onto their paints.

Electra was very interested in water and wanted to be at the sink, so I brought out some extra bowls, squeeze bottles of water, and liquid water color.

Aly and Electra share a sweet moment of connection!

Mia spent some time at the easel, working with a brush and roller.
More water please...
