Snowman Stamp From Rescued Trash

I rescued this piece of foam from the trash. I don't remember what it was from but it turns out it was the perfect thing to use as a stamp for a snowman on this last day before a 2 week break from school!
We had all kinds of scraps to use for scarves, hats, mittens and even skates! I also brought the blue glitter out for some extra sparkle!

We started by gluing tissue paper to the strainer for added color-

Experimenting with patterning on dots with dots...

Exploring Fish....



We are exploring fish and water life and have added fish w/ cut shapes and coral made from coffee filters dyed with water color to our board.....
The giant fish was a group painting project experimenting with color mixing.
