Do you like color? Do you like working with shapes? If you answered yes to both questions, then Tuesday, July 7th preschool storytime is for you. American sculptor Alexander Calder created magical mobiles, like the one pictured above. Using cardboard, string, and sticks we are going to make our very own mobiles! Stretch your imagination to the limit by creating a floating piece of art.
The kids had a lot of fun last storytime drip painting outside. Thanks to all the parents and kids for being good sports, it was somewhat of a "messy" storytime. We also watched a portion of a documentary about the artist Jackson Pollock, including real footage of him working on a canvas. I read three books by Mo Willems- Don't Let The Pigeon Stay Up Late! The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog! The Pigeon Wants A Puppy! The kids snacked on orange slices, crackers, and grapes.
I look forward to sharing books and seeing the colorful and creative art the kids will make at the next storytime.
