Autumn seems to be
the most inspiring season, it stimulates creativity and motivates for arts and
crafts. We enjoy lots of world famous masterpieces created by the well-known artists, we read
lots of poems devoted to the autumn time. The changes in nature happening in
autumn such as leaves changing their colour and animals preparing for the
winter are so diverse and so colourful that one can't miss it.
We could not neglect
autumn time inspiration either and indulged ourselves with the autumn crafts:
1. Autumn in the forest - of course
none can compare with the Autumn-Artist but still we tried to reflect our
autumn mood on the paper. Maria painted colourful background, glued pieces of
journal paper, which were supposed to depict birch-trees, and, then,
finger-painted leaves on the trees.
2. Maria was dancing all around with the rowan beads and a bracelet we made together. This was a good
exercise for the little fingers when she was putting rowan on the string with the help of the needle.
3. Making a geometry ship recalled
Maria about the basic geometric forms, which she was painting with the
excitement for the ship to have beautiful sails. Later we enjoyed our ship
floating in the nearest pond.
Overall
the ship-building process was pretty easy and fast: a) put the paper
sails on the chopsticks; b) made three holes in the plastic bottle for the
chopsticks with sails and a nail in the back; c) tied a ribbon for our
construction not to collapse after few minutes of sailing; d) the ship is
ready for grand sailing! (not to forget to tie up some string to be able to
steer the vessel)
4. Acorn man, acorn dog and some strange creature J Maria
was rather a passive observer this time, but an active acorn hunter.
