Pasta Art

Hey West families,
Though it's only February, we've been lucky to be able to enjoy
some milder, more spring-like weather. With that in mind, as well as being over
winter myself, I decided to do a quick and messy activity to get the kids
excited for spring! Bowtie pasta butterfly paintings. We began by using our hot
glue gun skills to carefully glue our bow tie pastas to our paper, then got
right into designing and painting our 'spring scene.' Most of the kids painted
their butterflies with bright colours accompanied by a classic nature scene -
grass, sun shining, flowers or trees. A couple of the kids got really creative
though; Isaac used his pasta shells to form a tree as opposed to using them for
butterflies which looked super cool! Lucy used her pasta
shells as frets of a guitar which I thought was so outside the box - very
impressed! 
After all this talk of milder weather, with spring also comes
RAIN, lots and lots of rain! Keep in mind that even if it's sprinkling outside, we may still take the kids outside to the playground to run around and
let off steam, so make sure your child has appropriate rain gear! Rainboots,
raincoat, extra socks (this one is key), even mittens if you so choose.
Thanks again!
