Toddler Art Class: Crumpled paintings
Art Project: Crumpled Paper Paintings
Supplies:
Liquid Watercolors
paper
paintbrushes
Book: oh my goodness. It's been too long since I actually did this class and now I can't remember what book I read. If it comes back to me, I'll return and edit this post. Sorry. In the meantime, feel free to choose any book about painting, messiness or crumpling up paper. The suggested title of Ish by Peter Reynolds was a little too long for this group.

The Supper Club Presents: Apps that are Out of the Ordinary
There seem to be at least a kajillion kids apps that claim to teach kids their numbers, letters, colors and shapes. They often do these with memory matching games, puzzles, coloring pages and other mostly uninspiring activities. Here are a few apps that have incorporated those concepts and used those games in fresh, innovative and exceptional ways.
For this month's craft, we took a storytime standard (the stick puppet) and made it better with a mouth that opens and closes! You can see the basic concept here, but I got the idea from the great book Make These Toys: 1-1 Clever Creations using everytday items by Heather Swain (p. 72)
