Fall meets Winter

In the midst of our fall inspired art and our pumpkin bar snack, it starts to snow.  Winter is trying to break through.

Lately, the kids have been asking to draw, at some point, during free play time.  Today we went with markers.

Snack: Pears, Cheddar cheese, purple cabbage, and homemade [gluten free] pumpkin bars

It snowed during outside play time!

Making Fall leaves.  Printing with smashed toilet paper rolls

Trying out a scraping technique.

...and, or course, preschoolers keep me humble with my amazing art ideas, by reminding me that all they really want to do is go wild.  Their ideal art project would probably be rolling their entire body in paint and then trashing around on a room-sized canvas.  :)  Simplicity.  Freedom.  Play.  I think that is what is important with children making art at this age.

Adding in some oil pastels and markers for a mixed media experience.
They are in the zone.

Quite a prolific art session today for just 2 youngsters.
