Im so jealous that we dont live near you! My kids would be your biggest fans! I ran a Registered Daycare in my home for several years and I loved doing crafty educational projects and field trips. But my own kids are all older now and due to health reasons Im just not able to do as much any more. I follow your pins and posts and look forward to trying some of them with our adopted 1 yr old and bribing my teenagers into participating too!

In reply to Miranda Riley (@warpedweaving). I'm so glad you agree, Miranda. I think one of the greatest lessons that you can offer your paraprofessionals is that the process is so much more important than the product. It's during the process that the children can experiment, create, and learn while using their own personal skills and creative talents, rather than stressing about their picture being perfect or whether or not it will please someone else. Good for you!

I love your post! I’m happy that you illustrated that it’s okay for the kids to have a ‘pumpkin’ that doesn’t really look like a real pumpkin. I’m an elementary school special ed teacher and when we do art projects, a lot of times my paraprofessionals want to help the kids make theirs look ‘right.’ Whatever they create is right!! More power to the kiddo that smeared the black stamps all over his/her pumpkin. I think these are fabulous.

In reply to Jennifer Denning Carlson. Hi, Jennifer. Thanks for letting me know that the post isn't loading correctly for you. I'm able to see the full post, but I did just have the same thing happen to another post a few minutes ago, so I'm not sure if it's just a glitch or if something else is going on. I'm going to look into it. Meantime, if you can check the link again, and if it does load for you, would you please let me know?

wonder if I’m missing something — All I get is the title and then a sub-title “you may also like” with 8 photos.

I love how all the colours mixed together with the plastic bag. Beautiful. Hmmm … thinking blues, purples, black for a night sky ….
