Bright Child Montessori: Owls Come in Whimsical Packages

One of the things I love about teaching arts and crafts to children is the permission I am able to give myself to play and explore and see what happens.  This many times begins to spill into my 'big girl' paintings.  I see a lot of joy in each of these creations.  It reminds me that the outside package may continue to grow and change but you can choose to keep the inner light sparkling bright.

For this project, we used good old paper plates, markers, crayons, watercolors and construction.  Why don't you have a go as a meditation practice.  Quietly gather the supplies and find a quiet area to work and play.

Are you needing some support with how to structure your classroom? As a Montessori teacher, I understand that feeling of overwhelm! I have created a detailed lesson plan to 'hold your hand' through each day.  These lesson plans can either be used to jump start how to create the rhythm of the classroom (monthly) or I have a full year plan that can then be used for a 3 year cycle.
