Montessori education information from a Montessori teacher and Mom. Personal art work and journal entries about my life as a busy Mom of three sons ranging in age from 7 years to 21 years. My hope: To create a place where parenting questions can be answered and conversations as well as ideas shared.

Art & Play: Shadows
In the spirit of the upcoming Groundhog Day (Feb 2nd) today's art activity was painting our shadows. Here Stella and her Mother, paint Stella's shadow with bright blue and red. The children enjoyed striking a pose and filling their shadows in with colorful paint. It was a really lovely class I have to say; there is something about using one's whole body to create.
A BIG piece of blank paper becomes something new and magical, a dancing shadow.

Love it! I am going to try this one:-) Thanks!
What a fun class!
I just found your blog today, and I wanted to tell you that I'm really enjoying it. I wish I knew how to find a class like this near me to do with my daughter. Oh, and I was wondering where you lived on the Cape - I am from the Cape too. :)
