Unplug Your Kids Project ~ Sky

This week's assignment at unplug your kids is SKY.  We have been enjoying our new book, Little Cloud, by Eric Carle, so I built my theme around that.  I also found some Klutz Eric Carle collage paper hidden away.  I decided to have the children explore collage while doing a sky theme.  First, we read our book and discussed all the things that clouds can look like.  Then we talked about all the things you can see in the sky during the day and night.  I then pulled out our collage materials and let the creative bug take over.





Most of the kids and I really enjoyed this project.  They made rain clouds over flowers, a sunrise, a fireworks display, and a bunny hiding from the sun.














Blessings, Dawn

    Those turned out beautifully! I have stacks of tissue paper that we could use for something like that.

    How absolutely beautiful. I so love the warmth and affection that must be a part of your home; I can almost feel it when I read your blog. I love your phrasing: 'most of the kids...' HA HA! We've had numerous 'most of the kids' experiences, too, this summer! I think that we as moms have to take rest in the fact that we did the best we could with what we had. We bring Him our lesson plans, aka two loaves and five fishes, and He gives supernatural increase, you know?


    Did you get my e-mail about the art studies/lack thereof?

    Beautiful art projects!! I really enjoyed looking at them. Sounds like you really enjoyed your trip. I agree, keeping up with the Jones' isn't all that its cracked up to be.

    Take care and enjoy your summer!
