little picasso: Art in the Garden

Friday, March 21, 2014 2 Comments

 

Art in the Garden - unique painting with herbs | @mamamissblog #plantaseed #herbs #paintingwithkids

Today I’m over at the Educator’s Spin on it for their Kids In The Garden series, sharing a fun & unique way to paint (that smells pretty good too!) with art in the garden.

You can see my guest post here.

Throughout the whole month of March, Kim & Amanda (the brains behind The Educators Spin On It) will be hosting 31 Days of Kids in the Garden; Learning and Growing, a collection of articles all geared to help parents and teachers interact with their children in the garden.  Fun stuff!!

And then to top it all off  – you can join us on March 31st to plant a seed with your child.  Just use the hashtag #plantaseed to connect on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter during this month long event!

So head on over & check out all the fun happening over there with learning in the garden.

Here are some of my favorites so far…

  • School Garden Learning Activities
  • Alphabet Garden Hunt
  • Read in the Garden

And here is my “art in the garden” post again :)

Herb Painting Activity

I’ve even been inspired to create a kids in the garden Pinterest board were I’ve been pinning all of this series from The Educators Spin On It, as well as some other “kids in the garden” inspired posts!

When your friend loves science just as much as you When your friend loves science just as much as you do.

These two... I couldn’t get them to walk away from our science table.

🐚🌊☀️When we went to the beach last week, V found this spiral thingee (official term 😆) way far back on the sand, near the dunes... it had obviously washed up a long time ago.  She brought it to us & my mom (PHD science professor-lol good to have one of those in your back pocket, huh?!) identified it as a Whelk Egg Casing. 

🔍🧐 🐚After Googling, based on the details of the casing, we determined it is an egg casing from a Knobbed Welk. 

🐚🔍🕵🏼‍♀️Whelk eggs are fertilized internally and laid in capsule packets. Strings of these connected egg capsules are usually one to three feet in length, comprised of up to 160 capsules, and each casing containing 40-100 eggs. These eggs are SUPER TINY - ALREADY FORMED - LITTLE BABY SHELLS (swipe to the last shot)!!! The mother whelk anchors one end of the string onto rocks, shells, or sand on the sea floor for safety. Apparently, only about one percent will hatch successfully. If they emerge successfully from the egg case, they can expect to live for about 10 to 15 years if they reach maturity.

Pretty cool huh?! #youlearnsomethingneweveryday

📣📣📣I’ve Got Some Big News!! 🤗🤩🥰After a LOT of hard work behind the scenes for the past several months, I'm so excited to finally announce that I have a new book coming out, The 5-Minute Gratitude Journal for Kids. 

💙💛💚
Encourage gratitude and positivity with 5-minute journal prompts for kids ages 8 to 12. "Thinking positive thoughts can help kids see their lives differently and feel more grateful every day. Nurture this sense of positivity with a gratitude journal for kids that’s packed with thoughtful questions, creative prompts, inspirational quotes, and fun ideas for activities." 

💜🧡❤️
I would love you to support my book. You can pre-order your copy now on Amazon.

Annnnd I turned it into a free printable for ya by Annnnd I turned it into a free printable for ya by slapping a quote on it 😉🤗 #linkinbio 

https://www.mamamiss.com/blog/2021/04/01/adjusting-focus/

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” - Kristin Armstrong

Print it out and hang it in your workspace, or the hallway, or the bedroom mirror as inspiration…. to reframe the ol’ noggin and focus on the gratitude and the things that are most important to us.

oh & p.s. 🤫🤗🤩🥳

I will be sharing an exciting announcement next week! Be sure to stay tuned and keep an eye out, I can’t wait to share this news with you!!!!!!!

Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝 We’ve had this Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝

We’ve had this loose parts tray since my kids were wee little ones and it is still utilized to this day.  I just happened to catch a kiddo mid-way through mandala making today. 

🌀💠🔆You can theme it out however you want - nature parts, color parts... think beads, buttons, bits & bobs... take a stroll down the small parts aisle at the craft store or your local hardware store to find some inspiration. 

🖇📏🧮 I love how loose part trays allow open-ended creative play.  Kiddos can explore the different textures and shape concepts in the tray to create structures, free play, or even work on math!

💡What would you use your loose parts tray for?
