The kids and i do a lot of art, as most of you know!) I've been reading lots about children's art, open ended art in particular. It's been nice to get back into some of the same stuff that was my favourite stuff to do as an ECE. There is so much 'craft' stuff for kids. The more I read about art the more I like the open ended stuff. This one was fun, I gave them bright color sticky notes and they stuck them all over the patio doors. Not only did it make neat patterns they also discovered the shadows, it was pretty neat.
Wesley has been loving spring and has been collecting all kinds of stuff from outside. on a trip to Lamoine Point last weekend with Auntie Jenn he brought back a huge collection of moss. He set to work making a 'forest' and has added pine cones, string and glitter! He's also been big into habitats, and he and Isobel have been making bear caves, bird nests and mouse holes out of pillows and blankets. We found a few bird nests in the neighbourhood yesterday, so we're going to keep watching them, see if we can catch a glimpse of a baby!

Isobel has decided to stop eating all the art stuff, so she's been doing lot's of gluing ( "gu pees") and makers and stickers. she loves to put stickers on the paper and then peeling them off again. She also loving her babies and has been carrying one around pretty much all day. They go outside in sand box, in her waggon, in her high chair and then in the bath tub at night :)
