Happy Halloween from Backyartists 👻

Our Afternoon Art Explorers whipped up puffy paints made from glue, paint, and shaving cream. We sang the Mixing Song as we stirred our mixtures together - we sang quickly, slowly, with high voices and low. So much fun!

The children also tried different methods of applying this fluffy paint: spreading it with a popsicle stick, dripping it, drizzling it, scooping it, and even smearing it with fingers!

Halloween Houses with kids 8+ and their caregivers. So fun! The group loved it so much that they’ve requested a winter holiday version too. Stay tuned for that in December!

All about those Halloween themed sensory bins 👀

In our Afternoon Explorers class we read “Leaf Man” by Lois Ehlert and then created our own leaf creatures. One child created a pontoon boat, another made a butterfly, and one made their own Leaf Man, flying around and eating hot peppers. We love how hard they worked: creating, designing, figuring out how to use shape punchers, and adding details with flair pens.

A festive fall sensory bin 🍂

Our Afternoon Art Explorers (K-2nd grade) worked with cardboard and colorful glue today. Children were challenged to get pieces of cardboard to stand up and had to problem solve to get their visions to come to life.

Weather week in Sensory Fun classes! ☀️ ☁️ ☔️ ❄️

Our Afternoon Art Explorers added more color and finishing touches to their block structures. One child added windows with children peeking out, another declared his sculpture is a kinetic sculpture because it moves, and a third said hers was a house to live in.

Children also spent time exploring more color mixing at the sensory stations we had open for them. So much fun! We still have some spaces left, if you’d like to sign your child up.
