PLAY! LEARN! LAUGH!

Today was the second day of our Mini Session for Passport 2 Preschool. We have a handful of new faces and many returning Magical Minds alumni.

I was so proud of the new artists, they braved the fear of parental separation and embraced the studio and their new friends.

We encourage play in addition to creating art, the two go hand in hand. Today we discussed the many differences and similarities we share. We also talked about things we liked about on another and things we like to do...

As you will see, our cute little wooden chairs have been turned upside down and we hosted (or rather the children hosted) an indoor playground! Slides anyone?

Afterward we broke out the clay and they all ran to the table to start building...a cake, a bridge, a sky...

It was a great day!

Building, Inventing, Team work, Cooperation - FUN!

Every session we utilize our l,500 square feet of space and let the kids really move around. But first, we talk about what they are about to do. This week:

BUILD and PAINT. HELP ONE ANOTHER. PROBLEM SOLVE.

We introduce new topics each week and base it on a book or various examples. A lot of discussion comes about and our project grows. So when you look at these pictures of kids painting boxes, moving boxes and using rollers it doesn't stop there. At the end of the class they have mastered stacking, balancing, painting with adult rollers, working as a team and cooperating. They also learn that they can build beyond paper, crayons and markers.

A transformation occurs and it's Magical!

Recycle...

We want to thank all you wonderful recyclers for filling our storage room up with materials! You will see the results of our hard work during summer camp.

Summer camp is just about full and our regular class schedule will be up soon, I promise!!

Here are a few pictures to hold you off until camp!
