Tinker Time

Bambini children worked on a collaborative art in Tinker lab this week.  I came up with the idea of painting with corks when I was looking for creative ways of exploring colors with one of their favorite activities, painting.  Using corks was not only fun and different from using a paint brush, but also helped strengthen the three fingers that require for a good pencil grip.

When I was reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle with a child on Tuesday, he pointed to one of the illustrations and said "Many Candies." I invited him to make 'candies' with corks and paints himself. 
He called his painting " A donut. A little donut" after he finished stamping many little circles on a paper. 
On Thursday, I posted Carle's illustration on the wall to inspire the children. 
Teacher: Does this picture look familiar to you? Have you seen this picture before? 

J: Caterpillar
E: It's red and yellow... caterpillar. It's right here.

This artwork is in progress and we will continue to work on it this coming week.  I am very curious how other children will respond to the Carle's illustration and how each child will use the new medium.
