Random Shapes and Immagination

On Nov. 5, I was really tired and didn't get a craft pulled together for the preschoolers.

So I pulled out some scratch paper and quickly sketched random shapes all over it.

Then repeated this for each of my students.

I told them to color their shapes, cut them out, and then make pictures.

This is a picture of a boy eating an ice cream cone. The stars are his legs. He's standing on a box on the floor. One arm is a circle, the other a very large rectangle. Joel has added many features to his picture since then ... like elbows.

This picture is of a jack-in-the-box that is out of the box. It is sitting on a large oval rug. On the floor is a lot of stuff that needs to be vacuumed. Later Joel added a nice yellow vacuum just like ours. He sketched it sitting on the floor looking at the vacuum.
