We have been working with the idea of "Ocean" in so many ways, especially in the Art Area. Ms. Harmony loves her "Melissa and Doug" art easel because it allows two children room to paint side by side. I love it when the school friends say, "Come paint with me! You can be on this side!" And two by two, they work with blue, green, and white to make ocean waves, drops, seaweed, and good conversation. :) It is wonderful to see how the conversation, artistic strokes, and preschool humor influences each friend in turn as they work on their paintings.
They were literally jumping up and down laughing while they painted these. :)
Check out these masterpieces!

Today we added jelly fish creatures to our Ocean Scene.
This is how we did it: we used a plain paper plate cut in half to be the hood part. Then we mixed a small amount of white school glue with water. Next we painted bits of tissue paper onto the plate and let it dry. Once it was dry, we taped bits of curling ribbon on the bottom to be the stinging tentacles.
