Spring Art for Children Continued

Learning! Blogging!! Growing!!! Sharing!!!!
I've come such a long way in the last seven months of my efforts to grow-my-blog. I have a 'fairy-blog-mother' that's taught me much. I have a lot to learn and I'm all ears. Today I'm happy to report I've passed her blogger challenge!!!




My goal here is to inspire creativity in your work with children, by sharing from my travels. I've stayed true to that goal + continue to focus on searching for great examples of children's creativity-in-action! LOOK WHAT I'VE FOUND!




The water colors-for-spring (above) are simply amazing! LUV the mixed media!



LUV these sculptures!! LUV Paper mache!!

LUV the opportunity for this child to create a PINK giraffe!! 




Last night I was going thru my old photo memory cards and found these treasures yet to be shared. All of the photos in today's post come from a spring Art extravaganza last year, marking a Preschool Anniversary celebration. I contributed a family concert of children's music to the hoopla. Look at what's possible!!! 




P.S. I've learned much about what readers are searching for in their blog hopping. My first years of blogging were too 'Debbie-centric' and I merely reported my happy travels and the people I got to hug.... more of a diary-of-sorts. Most of my articles featured a rousing chorus of: me-me-me-me-me.




While it's important [to me] to chronicle my professional travels into my blog, I attempt now to add these sort of touch points as a footnote to the content you're searching for above! Those gloriously inspiring photos of children's ART!!!


***I will tell you now, that if you arrive early to my keynote presentation with your entire staff -- in matching bright color t-shirts --and then sit in the first two rows..... I'm going to ask you to join me on stage to start "CELEBRATE!"

Thanks, Charity, for the opportunity to grow! Thanks for helping all educational bloggers focus on the larger mission at hand and stay true to our audience and their needs! I'll wear your happy polka-dot badge with honor!
