Spring's the Thing!!!

It's here!!!! It's SPRING-time!!!!! 

The season of new beginnings!!!!!
(For my readers sharing my hemisphere, that is... I'm so ego-centric: LOL!)

I'm creating this blog post to inspire and share.

In my travels as a "Music-Lady" making 'author/illustrator' visits to schools, centers and libraries -- I get to see all manner of amazing work in my adventures.

Look at this bulletin board idea!

I could have had that in one of my round-ups for all things 'fine motor leading to Fine Arts!!'

What a great way to encourage scissor activity for young hands!!

There you have it!

My version of the Birds and the Bees......

from last spring's art festival in Ohio!

This bouquet was professionally framed and under glass, hanging in the program director's office...... obviously a gift of love from an earlier spring. What a great idea for a mother's day present. Or a gift for GeeGee, Nana, Mimi, Grandma, Grannie et. al. Hint-hint.

Rembrandt in the making.

Spring = smiles!

Spring = butterfly!!

Spring = Happy flower!!!

I had posted this footprint sun collaboration earlier, but felt it was needed in this collection.
Truly a classic and oh-so-simple. Simple always 'works.' Simple is great in the spring!!!

Looking for Rainbows?

Here's a 'family tree' I saw recently at South Daytona Elementary.

Their kindergarten classrooms were adorned with permanent brown trees.

This one was 'blooming' with family leaf collages.....

made at home under the watchful eyes of parents.

 

Here's an Easter Egg collaboration from last spring.
This HUGE effort was one I saw during my tour through Reggio Emilia, Italy.

Take a look at these child-created flowers:
Petals.
Glue.
GO FOR IT!!!!!!

LUV that the children have been given the independence to create their own projects!!!
That's a pretty amazing continum of response.


I'd be so delighted if you'd 'pin' your favorite spring idea.
That will help bring these projects to a wider audience searching for inspiration.

Thanks for your help!!!

Did ya LUV these?

I have another installment of ideas here in a future issue.
