The making of butterfly feeders

 

The children wondered..."What do butterflies like to eat?"  The I Pads came out for some research and investigation. The children came across how to make a homemade butterfly feeders. Of course we had all the materials available in our classroom. The children went straight to work.

After the feeders were created we measured 10 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar and brought it to a boil. "That's the butterfly juice that they will love to eat." Sienna. We hung the feeders in our upstairs garden. The children wondered and made predictions on when we would see our first butterfly.

The Art of Cross Stitching

Maia and her mother energized our art studio with a brand new activity.

This was a whole new way to sew!

The children were invited to draw on brightly coloured canvas 

and then stitch over their designs.

Hoops were used to hold the fabric nice and tight.

Mrs. Fields shared what she knew and offered help to the children 

as they learned a new skill.

They caught right on!

 

Miss Wilkins, our student educator, was on hand 

to lend a hand for this very popular centre!

Thank you for sharing your talent with our kindergarten friends Mrs. Fields.

And an extra special Thank You for the hoops and canvas 

that are now a part of our open art studio!
