Our Magical Creations Level 3 class did a wonderful job with this project. Recycled cardboard food boxes was the main material along with glue. The students were able to find an image they liked and recreate it using pieces of cardboard.
Magical Minds Studio is an early childhood creative development art studio. We specialize in visual and sensory art for children 18 months to 14 years of age. As a mother and the founder of Magical Minds Studio I thought I'd start a blog on our progress and life at the art studio.

Passport 2 Preschool Week 11 and 12
Jelly Bean Art! It was tough to work with jelly beans and not eat them but these students showed impressive will power. We did let them have a few after their hard work. Counting the jelly beans was a group effort as was feasting on them :-)
Jellyfish were also discussed and once again recycled materials were put to use making jellyfish out of 2 liter plastic bottles, paint and string. The children got a kick out of these jellyfish and asked us to tie bells on them so they can jingle!
We also talked about the jungle and people and animals that make up that wild place! Some students decided to draw pictures of tribes and other to decided to make animals in hiding. Lot's of growling took place this morning...
Week 12
Koala bears, kites and kaleidoscopes! There was a lot to do with "K" today and we had fun with this letter.

Stained "Glass"
There's something exciting about making stained glass. Perhaps its the glossy look of the finished artwork. Or maybe it's the clear material that gets painted with various colors. Whatever the case, it's fun and the children went home with some very cool pieces. We used clear adhesive, recycled water bottles and colored cellophane sheets.
