Painting on a vertical surface 🎨

Teachers hung a white sheet vertically & set out rainbow colored paints. Other than providing those materials, we wanted this activity to be 100% child-led.

We gave them no instructions or guidelines. We watched them as their imaginations came to life, covering the sheet with paint, despite the challenges of the blowing wind & it not having solid backing. We watched them throw paint, splatter paint with their brushes, print their own hands, crouch, climb on top of chairs & even pour paint directly from the jars while watching it cascade down.

It was a joy to witness such joy & creativity!

Yoga Heart Stacking:

The children were given the freedom to stack conversation hearts in any way they pleased. Some made tall stacks, some made long stacks. There were lines & patterns and even “cities”.

While this activity involved fine motor skills, spatial awareness, balance & building ginger strength… Our main focus was to practice patience. We really focused on NOT getting frustrated if our towers fell over or if a friend accidentally bumped into us. We told ourselves it was okay to take a deep breath, start over or try again.

We are always grateful for how yoga helps our bodies, but this week we really loved seeing how yoga has helped our brains & our emotions.

Happy Winter Solstice Everyone ☔️ Let’s squeeze every ounce of joy out of the shortest day of the year 💙
