The toddlers began painting with me today using small flat brushes and liquid watercolor on cold press watercolor paper.
The liquid water color provides such a vibrant color and it's single step application makes it ideal for young children. The children were captivated watching colored lines emerge on white paper as they painted.
We worked together on a collaborative piece, focusing on process over product particularly at this time of the year.
Once we'd had enough of painting, the
studio moved to the mini atelier outside the toddler classroom.
The children enjoyed working together, building and making connections.
This young girl was excited when she noticed that the green arc was the same shade of green as her dress.
And this child enjoyed stacking rainbow arcs and joyfully knocking them down before restacking them again.
The wonders of gravity and the joys of discovery are two of the many reasons I look forward to toddler day in the studio.
A shout out to the toddler teachers for all they do to make our days together so wonderful!
