Well we had some catching up to do as Christmas eve was on the same day as the lessons. So we had a Saturday painting class instead.
We decided to paint Fish for some of the younger children and Butterflies for some of the older children.
All the supplies are set up!
Blue seemed to be the color of choice!
These kids really got a kick out of having their hands painted. I think it was unexpected and that made it fun!

While the younger class was painting fish the older children were working on painting butterflies.
They learned how to hold a brush, make strokes, and put their own personal style in the picture.
I was very inspired when two of the students decided their butterflies were flying in tufts of cotton floating in the air! There is a glimpse into what they are imagining while creating!
