On the evening of December 5th the kids put their shoes near the chimney. The next morning Sinterklaas has passed and the shoes are filled with gifts. If they are really lucky he comes before bedtime on the 5th. Because even with all his helpers it is a long night of hard work so he prefers to start early.

Sometimes a really easy activity can really engage the kids. Here we were recycling/up cycling some brown bags. We used some paint and added a little stars and everyone was happy and had a great time!⁠⠀

This past week we talked about ‘op art’ and we were inspired by Victor Vasarely. Op art, short for optical art, is a style of visual art that uses optical illusions. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Vasarely is widely accepted as the "grandfather" and leader of the ‘Op art’-movement. We looked at his work entitled Zebra, created in the 1930s. By some this is considered to be one of the earliest examples of ‘Op art’.⁠⠀
