Hand Print Flowers
31-03-2017, 11:21 AMHello OSC families!
Spring is finally here and we couldn't be more excited for the sun and warmth that is upon us. The planned art activities are always a hit with our Juniors here at OSC. This past Thursday we did an art activity where the kids made hand print flowers to get us all excited for this spring season.
We started off with covering our hands in paint and making a hand print on a piece of paper. The fingers were the stems of the flowers and the flowers were created at the tips of the fingers with our thumb. We then cut out a brown flower pot and placed it over the palm of the painted hand. A message was written on the pot that said “I’ve made some May flowers with my fingers and thumb so you’ll have these memories for all the years to come”.
We started brainstorming about who these pictures could be given to. Some Juniors wanted to give their flower picture to their mom, some wanted to give theirs to their dad and some wanted to make pictures for everyone in their family. It’s always fun doing an art activity that can be given to someone special and it makes it that much more exciting for the children when they are creating it.
I look forward to many more fun times at the art table with our Junior artists!
