Oh the marvelous mess we make!

Today was a busy, messy, artful day. One of our morning rotating centers involved spinning paint around for an apple glyph (picture coming later hopefully). Today was Rr day, so for art we made recycled robots (thanks to Mrs. Karen's website for the idea.) The class was really excited about it.
One of these robots does not look very happy.
Some children got creative and took the leftover cereal box pieces to create extra features. Here is a robot wearing a dress.
One of these robots has a hat.
Near the end of the day, during science we got to recycle all sorts of 'junk' into wonderful creations. A few children wore their work: below are a tie and a dress.

Bug catcher:alien spaceship:

ladybug catchers (I'm not sure who had this idea first, but it was by far the most popular creation today)
trap and a person
ladybug house:bottle for words
Not pictured here: more ladybug catchers, smiley face man, ladybug catcher with two rooms attached by a straw so the bug can crawl through, and a girl.

It was a fun day. If your child ever gets bored at home, just give them some tape or glue and let them at your recycling bin. It's a very inexpensive form of entertainment.
