Apples and Art

Apple day craft activities. I'm not sure how much the girls learnt about the many varieties of English apple, but they certainly enjoyed themselves. I wouldn't let them print with apples at home as I'm not sure about using food in that way. The twigs were already on the page, they printed on the colour. I like the effect.

The coloured pieces are being stuck onto clear sticky film, the type used to cover books. Clever idea! To finish it off another piece of film was used to cover the other side, sandwiching the outline and coloured papers between the sheets of film.

But art at home is also good! These textured papers are for use later, inshAllah. We also did some experiments with colour mixing.

And lastly! One of the many uses for Cusinaire rods.

Just because.
