MOBY garden day with Mosaic daycare kids

The other day I went and did a little preschool session with Tina from MOBY community garden and the kids at Mosaic daycare. It was lots of fun and she did a great post about it that I will lazily link to here.

Rainbow Art

It all started with a white snow art activity I did with the kids. I just found everything I could that was white and arts and craft-able and put it on the table, giving the kids some remnant white matte board as background. They took it from there.

Then I found out that one of our kids was struggling to learn his colours, as well as basic shapes etc and that because of this he was being held back from the pre-kinder program. The teachers were doing their best to help get him up to speed but it was slow going. One day after nap I noticed him waking up right at the time when all the other kids were heading off to pre-kinder. I noticed he was crying. This boy is very stoic and this broke my heart a little. Then I got the idea to do colour art to help him learn his colours. That afternoon we did red art, using the same principle as for the "snow art", in that I covered the table with red items, red tape, red markers, red feathers etc etc etc. The next day we did Orange, then Yellow, and so on. Here are some of the images.
