Earth Day Painting

In honor of Earth Day this month, we wanted our Green Room friends to engage with our earth's resources in a creative, hands-on way. We have some neighboring trees that love to shed their leaves into our back yard at school. So, we collected some of those leaves and tied them together to make.......



Paint brushes!











Then we had a fun painting session using our outdoorsy paintbrushes (and, of course, our fingers too!). The kids enjoyed exploring the texture of these new "paint brushes" and kept asking for more paint.



































We also added shaving cream onto our canvas. The shaving cream on the leafy paint brushes reminded us of snow on tree branches!



























Happy Earth Day, friends!

Love,
Teacher Katie
