One of L and E's favorite activities is to use various toys and household objects to create large-scale artwork on our floor. I have to admit that this is a fun activity for me, as well. The above photo uses pieces from a letter construction game, but we've used everything from building blocks to markers to plastic animals to create our masterpieces. Here are some more examples I just have to share..
The above face was something the girls invented all by themselves. I love how they see the world through such creative eyes!
E had a wonderful time making a red barn out of plastic caps for her magnet animals.
My entire family joined the fun when I took out some craft sticks. We made an entire town, complete with houses, flowers, trees, and even a boat and airplane. The girls enjoy these types of activities so much that they don't realize that they're using all sorts of fine motor skills, spatial logic, geometry, and imagination.
This is a wonderful idea. It allows for so much creative expression because it is open-ended. Thanks for sharing at the Sunday Showcase. I'm featured this post this week. :)
