Be-an artsy

With the warmer temps and disappearing snow last week playing outside after school was a wet option and by the end of the week children were getting bored with the toys they'd played with all week so we had to think of some alternate fun. I had seen this activity in Family Fun a while back where you can create pictures using different kinds of beans/lentils. I bought a varitey of beans and lentils a couple months ago, but never dug it out until last week. Joshua and his friend Corrinne spent about 45 minutes creating and loved it! Even Matthew got in on a bit of the fun, although after a few minutes he was more interested in taking beans and dropping them on the table. Definitely an activity we will do again.



The creation on the top is Matthew's, the flower is mine and the other two are Joshua's creations. The picture on the pink paper is a giraffe eating leaves off of a tree.
