Cool mark making ideas

I love to print and/or paint with unusual "brushes." Today's "brush" of choice were my collection of mashers. I have a small collection (6 or 7) different manual potato mashers. It is fun to compare the different prints that they make. Some of them look kind of like bee hives. Some of them are round like "Mickey Mouse Ears." Some are kind of squiggly like worms. Others look like our blocks when they are put away. This activity was a definite hit with the children, we filled quite a few pages…

This afternoon we combined two of our favourite things here at Clare’s Little Tots – cars and drawing. The results were a beautiful masterpiece and lots of fun.

How we implement the principles of Maria Montessori in our home.

If you have more than one child creating a safe and enticing art area can be difficult. While I have three children only my eight and two year old use this area. Previously I've set up this area just for my toddler and I had six or so activities on trays. Now we have a combination of loose materials and a few trays out. This area is in our playroom and often my toddler is here being supervised by my (super relaxed) husband and sometimes by my twelve-year-old son. So for safety and to reduce…
