grape harvest

The grape vines in the back yard are dripping with beautiful, deep purple grapes made sweet by our recent cold spree and ripe for the picking.
The children worked together harvesting bundles of juicy goodness and loading a metal bowl to overflowing.
 There was such a sense of wonder and enthusiasm evident throughout the process and an eager anticipation of the day ahead.
 Beverly joined us in the studio for the day juicing grapes and sampling natures nectar.
An observational painting prompt was set up in the studio to facilitate further grape investigations and expression.
The children enjoyed touching and discussing the grapes, the juice, the harvest, the colors, the smells and more.
