Finger painting is a meaningful experience for infants, but it is just as valuable for older children! Finger painting encourages children to use gross motor muscles, feel the ‘cool-ness’ of the paint temperature, and even use their nails to go back into their work and scratch away paint to reveal the paper underneath— experiencing cause and effect in an authentic way. There is so much to learn and experience through finger painting, that is different than painting with brushes!

Recently, preschoolers were given primary colors of fingerprint and invited to move their hands, fingers, and arms to smear, blend, and mix the colors. While some children confidently began touching paint blobs immediately, wiping thick smears of paint across the paper, others begin by touching the colors and slowly mixing them.

This is part of an all-school color mixing project that has been taking place all summer in Tysons and Old Town. We can’t wait to see how this color mixing journey continues!

Local artist Ty Brickhouse visited Pre-K in West End this spring, as children learned about local contemporary artists during Studio! Children learned about Ty’s work as a jeweler and paper mache artist, asked her questions about her art, and got to examine jewelry and sculptures that she’s made in her studio up close.

“Why do you like making big fish? -Conall

“It looks like a fish race!” -Theo

She then joined us for studio, where children used hand painted beads, and special beads that Ty brought in, to make necklaces for our Fish Parade.

“Beads! We made them with pens, with tape and paper.” -Yasmine

“I’m wearing the necklace right now! My mom would like this!” -Ezra

“A blue one! A green one! Here comes a yellow one!” -Evvy

Before Pre-K children made jewelry, younger children made a variety of paper mache fish for our Fish Parade! Children painted paper, and then used that to paper mache assorted types of fish forms. Pre-K children also painted beads, and made paper beads with assorted patterned paper.

“The babies made the starfish!” -Jack

Thank you Ty for visiting and sharing your jewelry and sculptures with us! Children loved examining your fish sculptures, and working with the beautiful and unique beads that you shared with us.

Local artist Steven Cushner visited Pre-K in West End this spring, as children learned about local contemporary artists during Studio! Children learned about Cushner’s work as a painter, asked him questions about his work, and got to look up close at some non-traditional paintbrushes. We also were lucky enough to view his paintings that are in the lobby of our building!

“Mr. Steven, are you going to come to the lobby with us? You did the picture in the lobby. “-Eamon

“The lines look like a wave. It looks like it’s making this [wiggling hips] movement.” -Theo

He then joined us for studio, where the children applied drips to paintings with watered down glue, in a process similar to his own work.

“Ahh, too much! It’s gluey.” -Jeannie

“It looks like it’s raining.” -Adrien

Younger children contributed to this all-school painting project as well! Children in infant-Pre-K classroom painted small canvases, and then added a second layer of color with the tape resist process. Canvases were attached to make two large collaborative pieces, with line and shapes that mimic Cushner’s iconic style.

Thank you Steven for visiting and sharing your artwork and expertise with us, and attending our Spring exhibition to see the inspired artwork on display!

✨Auction Spotlight - Our Teachers!✨

Part of the Two Birds mission is to build a foundation that supports the “whole” child during their early formative years. We focus on the child, the family, and the teachers within this framework as primary pillars of support in the development of the “whole” individual.

Professional development and educational opportunities for our teachers is an important part of this work. The money raised through the auction will help us further expand teacher education and growth within the early childhood education field by extending the conferences and on-site development we currently offer.

With funds raised from the 2026 auction, Two Birds is planning to send a group of teachers and administrators to the Annual NAEYC Conference in Washington, DC in December, 2026! Daizy Rose Frazier and members of the studio team will be presenting a session at the NAEYC 2026 conference titled “Art outside the box: Elevate art experiences and displays for infants and toddlers with non-traditional and upcycled art materials.”

⚡️Our virtual auction ends tomorrow at 8 pm— thank you Two Birds families for all of your support thus far!⚡️

✨Auction Spotlight- Ceramic Loose Parts Chess Set ✨

“Look at this square I made!” - Evelyn, Pre K B

Pre K B artists rolled, molded, and smashed clay during studio! Using a variety of tools and their hands, they rolled out the clay into thin sheets and cut shapes with cookie cutters and jar lids, experimenting with how much force they needed to cut the clay. After being fired, Pre K artists swiped light blue and dark blue glaze across the clay pieces. After being fired again to achieve the shiny and smooth texture, the squares were assembled into the checkerboard pattern and loose parts were added to the clay circles to create the chess pieces.

The final piece measures 18.5 in x 18.5 in and includes a full set of chess pieces and a full set of checkers pieces.

It’s almost time - our virtual auction goes live ✨tonight✨ at 8 pm for Two Birds families!

To get ready for our upcoming school picture days, children designed backdrops during their Studio groups! We love this tradition- each schools backdrop has a unique and dynamic color story, while still being tied together by a unified artistic process.

We can’t wait to see how the photos turn out in front of these collaborative works of art over the next few weeks!
