December fun!

Christmas is getting closer and the kids were feeling very festive yesterday! We went on a leaf hunt so that we could make fresh, natural Christmas trees. The kids had a lot of fun doing this activity! After making the tree, they enjoyed decorating it with sequins and snow. Putting the final star on the top was the best part! Look at what they made - they look great! 

You can’t beat a homemade, child-made holiday card, can you?

For our last ECA of this term, we made homemade holiday cards the children can use at home.

I've had an amazing time with the children this term and I look forward to exploring and making different arts and crafts next term.

Have a lovely holiday!

Making baubles for the tree!

This week, we are all in the mood for Christmas! So we made baubles to put on your Christmas tree! The Sensory Club ECA kids picked out the colours they wanted and used their muscle control to paint around while holding onto the string. They really enjoyed mixing colours and creating different patterns on their baubles. 

Baubles are in the process of drying and we will send them home next week so that you can put it on your Christmas tree!

Candy Canes

In the craziness of the last few weeks of school before Christmas break, I brought out red and white paint and let the children make candy canes. It was great for coordination and control as they had to carefully place their red and white thumbs to form the shape of the cane.

Making animal masks using different textures

This week, the Sensory club kids really wanted to make animal masks. They were provided with various materials of different textures. They were allowed to feel all the textures and decide what animal mask they wanted to make. This week the kids did all the work! They cut the material and pasted everything by themselves - it is great to see them being so independent and creative!

 Pleng - "I want to do baby chicken".

 Uss wanted to make a sheep but it was a yellow sheep!

 Oh - "I make a yucky butterfly"

 Lucy wasn't sure what she wanted to make but in the end decided it was going to be a spider.

 Ally - "I want to make a beautiful sheep!"

 Lewis - "I make lion".

 Minnie - "I want to make sheep".

 Totem made a lovely sheep as well!

Arin made a chicken and cut the beak himself!
