Some children started to mix colours on the paper while others tried mixing blue and yellow in a ziplock bag. This gives the children a good sensory experience of mixing colours. The children were very excited about this and showed great focus. We will experiment mixing other colours to see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>Some parents commented that their children love to paint at home and mixing colours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crawfordchildcare.ie\/services-creche-montessori.php#toddler\">Adventure Room<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michael arrived into creche and told us all about the Easter Bunny visiting him and bringing \u00a0him chocolate. This led to a discussion with a few of the children who were also visited by the Easter Bunny. We then spoke about Easter chicks who make special eggs for Easter.<\/p>\n<p>We decided to do an art activity so we got some plates and painted them yellow. We then decorated them with feathers, confetti, and stickers to create Easter chicks.<\/p>\n<p>The children who participated used various painting applicators to spread the paint and used the paint as an applicator to stick the feathers.<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to discuss important events and celebrations that occur throughout the calendar year to aid the children\u2019s learning of celebrations and festivals that occur.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exploring Room Rudy was taking the jigsaws from the shelves and put them on the table.
