Picture Mosaics

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.

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.
