The Mystery of Marbling – Painting Swirls of Color! (3:45-4:45p)
Kids will get a chance to make art together with marbling. They will get a little messy (in a good way) as they make stationery, paper goods, books, and more. Kinesthetic, visual, and tactile modalities will be stimulated. This class will teach the easy and beautiful art of marbling. It’s fun and fast and full of surprises. Paint is dripped onto a tray of liquid, swirled around and then transferred to paper. We’ll make all sorts of things including painted lunch bags, holiday ornaments and picture frames.

TUESDAY
Camelot Chefs – “Books-for-Cooks” (2:15-3:15p)
In this class, children listen to a favorite story and create a tasty treat inspired by the book. This beginning-to-cook class is a perfect way to quench young chefs’ thirst for culinary adventure and develop their appetite for nutritious nibbles. Books are chosen to reinforce academic and social skills, to support diverse cultural values, and to coincide with seasonal cooking. Ingredients are chosen to expand the culinary horizon of these tot-chefs, encouraging them to use all their senses to explore and experience new foods. Healthy recipes may include Very Hungry Caterpillar Snacks, Stone Soup Minestrone, Wild Things Bagel Faces, Oliver’s Fruit Salad Pops, and Big Moon Tortilla Tacos. Cooking reinforces academic and social skills, such as sequencing, following directions, hand-eye coordination, cause and effect, mathematics, teamwork, and cooperation. The curriculum has been adapted so that no heat source or other kitchen materials are required. We ask that parents sign a release informing us of any allergies or dietary restrictions the participating child may have.

This interdisclipinary class will engage the visual/spatial awareness, math/science skills, visual art, music, dance, gross and small motor skills and kinesthetic intelligences. Watch out, Dora the Explorer! Here are some new ways to MAP!
