This week’s Unplugged Theme was Soft. When I was picking up a few art supplies last week I ran across some magic sponge kits. I remember thinking that they were fun as a child. I choose the farm kit to tie in with our harvest activities we are doing for school.
The kids had fun watching the magic unfold, as the sponges came to life in the bowl of warm water. They were squealing and trying to guess what each one was before it opened all the way and I believe there were some sponge races going on…. “Look, look, mine’s opening first!”
After all the sponges were freed from the capsules, we dipped them in finger paint to make farm animal prints. The images turned out fuzzy at best but it was a fun and easy activity.
Unplugged Guests, I know I’m supposed to be linking directly to the post, not my home page but I am in the middle of moving my blog from free hosting to self hosting and I am having a few issues. One is that the domain name is masked due to the transfer. For now, you can use my Unplugged Category link on the side and I have made it where you no longer need a wordpress account to comment.
