Painting Snowman Rainbow Colors

March 9, 2013 By Suzette Salmon Leave a Comment

Preschoolers having fun painting a snowman with the colors of the rainbow. It’s important for children to get outdoors even in cold weathers.  Bundle them up and let them explore, discover and have fun.  Earlier .. each child painted a rainbow. We build on children’s curiosity, question, and penchant to learn – our weekly theme has been the  ‘The Itsy Bitsy Spider’.  The spider that got washed away and we all know often times after a shower of rain out comes the rainbow.

These smarty pants asked to paint a rainbow and after that project, they used the rest of paint to color the snowman the colors of the rainbow …thanks to my assistant Miss Fareeda they had a wonderful time making this artwork 🙂

ROYGBIV – Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo,Violet –

I loved their effort and masterpiece.

Hope you get to enjoy the outdoors during the winter season.  Bundle up and let the children play.

Hi Neighbor, I wish every child could have the opportunity to simply be a child and learn through the affordances of outdoor discoveries.

Small environments offer something deeply valuable—time, intimacy, flexibility, and closeness to everyday life. Hands on learning with freedom to explore and no time for worksheets. 
Sometimes the richest learning experiences are the simplest🍃

Your environment invites children to explore, create, problem-solve, add new knowledge to old, and gain mastery.

Your backyard is enough to create spaces for young children to explore, discover, and simply be children.

It’s the language of childhood.

Proud Mama Moment 💛

My daughter graduated from high school earlier this summer and received a full Trustee Scholarship to college, where she will be studying American Sign Language (ASL).

It’s such a full-circle moment—she is the reason I started my home childcare 17 years ago. She grew up watching me use sign language with the babies in my care, giving them a way to communicate before they had the words to speak.

I’ve always seen her use the signs and knew she was interested in ASL, but I never realized how seriously she was considering it as a career path. She has told others, “My mom spoke to nonverbal kids, and I want to do the same.”

To my fellow home educators: your children are watching you. I want you to know the value of the work you do for others—and to love and value the career you have chosen.

The little girl who watched her mama sign with babies is now heading to college to study ASL herself.

We are so incredibly proud of you, our little Sunny 🌞. Congratulations, my Trustee Scholar. Go make your mark. ❤️
