Turning Children's Art into Holiday Gift Wrap

In our classroom we focus mainly on process-based art. Children are invited to create with open-ended materials. A painting experience that children enjoy involves stamping holiday cookie cutters using festive acrylic paint.

 
When the paintings are dry they are rolled and tied using a sparkly pipe cleaner. A tag is attached inviting families to repurpose the art as holiday gift wrap for a special loved one. A copy of the letter is available for printing here: Gift Wrap Art Letter to Families
 
Doesn't this present look so beautiful with the special wrap?

Dot Day!

We celebrated international Dot Day today by reading the book 'The Dot' by Peter Reynolds...


...and finding many creative ways to make our mark in our classroom!

We used dot dabbers. 






We built with dots. 





We even painted with dots!




We tweeted about what we did and Peter Reynolds tweeted us back! It was very exciting to connect with this author!
