Moon Swirl Art

Posted on April 4, 2013 by Lil Bebe Academy

Children making art to represent the swirls on the moon. This art work was done during our March theme which was based on nursery rhymes. Our nursery rhyme for that week was, ‘The Cow Jumped Over The Moon.’ It is during this week that we explained the phases of the moon which had the kids singing a song from you tube which we found here.

Materials needed

Blue & white paint, straw and card stock or construction paper

Children were then asked to blow in straw to create patterns = moon swirls.

Each child did a great job to show case the moon swirls – don’t you agree?

During the month of September we focused on painting with black and white. I usually use two colors on a monthly basis because the aim is to get blended colors. I love when discovery sets the tone for an evening of activity.

Here I gave the children paints and asked them to use the cars to make whatever patterns they wanted. Just randomly dip the car in the paint..doesn’t matter if the white gets on the black. Very soon after painting I heard, ‘I see gray!’ That’s what fun is all about – discovering and learning along the way.
