Purple Center and the Rise of a Prolific Artist

For Kip's entire Pre-K year, I think he brought home no more than 12 pieces of independent arts/crafts creations. At the time, he was highly adverse to free drawing. He spent most of his center time in the play kitchen or with building toys.

Ivy is 180 degrees in the other direction. She chooses nearly every day to go to "Purple Center" which is the arts and crafts table. I have no doubts that she has brought home the equivalent of an entire ream of paper in scrap masterpieces. 

At the beginning of the year she was obsessed with collecting the little sequins and hoarding some loose in her backpack to stash in her treasure jewelry box. She was also cutting up tiny scraps of paper and gluing one or two sequins. 


In the fall she got into making these signature rainbows by layering several different colors of crayon.



For every piece of paper you see in one of these photos, 10 more came home in her backpack of a similar nature. 

And of course there are the unicorns, hearts, flowers, and rainbows.







She is a cutie little creator.
