Torn Paper Collage

Meara had so much FUN with this art project. She really enjoyed tearing the construction paper into pieces and fitting them together to create this image. We started out with a 12" x 12" piece of poster board, drew the heart in the center and four division lines for the colors. Once all the pieces had been glued down pink strips of construction paper were added to make the border.

Letter A Apple Art

Continuing with our apple theme Meara made a finger painted apple. It works so much better on the glossy paper plates! She used the Crayola finger paint. I was surprised that it stained her hands. She was a little embarrassed when we went out later in the day with her bright red palms...after 24 hours of hand washing it has finally worn off. I don't remember it doing that when I was a kid. She had so much FUN squishing the paint around and using the foam letter sponge. I LOVE watching her face when she is being creative.
