Art and Play: On The Farm






momstown has gone to the farm! This month we are learning all about the farm and some of the things that happen on a farm.  Today, our little artists made mixed media collages of a farm scene.  All it took was a template of a barn, a little (okay, okay, maybe a lot!) of glue, some tissue paper squares, stickers and some Popsicle sticks for the kids to create fantastic works of art. It was so neat to see how careful some of the kids were in where they put the tissue paper, while some of the other kids just put them down more randomly.



After our artwork was done, we headed over to circle time to talk about what things we might see on the farm.  The kids gave lots of examples of things and animals you find on the farm, and weren’t fooled with some of the silly suggestions I made! We sure have some smart kids at momstown! To finish off, we read “Barnyard Banter” by Denise Fleming. The kids got right into the book and made the animal sounds on each page as we searched for the silly goose in the story!
