Wilbur's 10th Birthday pARTy: The Activities

I set up three activity stations for the pARTy.

At the first station,

the kids "painted" a jello still life.

I found the instructions and printables

 at Little Birdie Secrets.

I printed a copy of an example still life

and wrote instructions for the activity below the picture.

On the table,

I placed the printouts, instructions, markers, 

bowls of glue with paintbrushes,

and bowls of jello powder in assorted flavors.

The kids colored the bowl section of the printout with the markers

then painted the glue onto each piece of fruit,

adding the jello powder like glitter.

At the second station, I placed

a printout of a Seurat piece along with

dot markers and newsprint

for making Pointillism pieces.

The kids were very creative

and used the points of color

to make boats, trees, animals,

and an assortment of other great work.

 

At the third station,

I set up Wilbur's new art easel...

which he had opened the night before...

along with two canvases and plenty of tempera paint.

Wilbur had painted the backgrounds,

a sky scene and an ocean scene,

the night before.

His friends added birds and fish,

giving him two priceless pieces of art!

Wilbur's friends gave their best effort...

and the results...

were stunning!
