The girls enjoyed the painting they did yesterday and today. The focus again was on different animals and their senses as compared to ours.
They had painted the shapes for the faces yesterday and today they attached the ears, nose and eyes (and I drew on the mouths). We stuck the ears and noses onto Styrofoam pieces so they are at least 1cm higher than the faces - so the effect is lovely (a bit lost on a photo).
We made ginger bread men (and faces) today and the girls enjoyed adding the senses.
We even made some animals with their appropriate eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Ruth did the bottom left man all by herself as well as the top face and the elephant (bottom left - I just did the dots for the eyes) and one of the pigs.
Today Ruth and Rachel enjoyed making some new play dough. It was a great time to do this as Ruth has started a study on our senses so she got to use some of her senses as we made it and she could feel how very different it was from the old batch.
