celebrating solstice

we had two “play days” (summer preschool) celebrating the coming of summer.

in anticipation of my own teenager kids coming to visit and help, i left this note at home to which they replied, “uh, obviously.” i was grateful.


our days had a fairly steady showing of animal puppet shows (this one was special because a younger sister was having her very first day of preschool this day!):

 


we had blue and yellow things in our almond-coconut-olive oils and flour “sand.”

we did sun painting with a salad spinner and sky painting with art rollers.

we smelled sunscreen, orange oil and shea lotion, trying to guess which was which, then did body painting with the lotion. click here to see another video recorded live.

and finally, while still outside under the mulberry tree, we added a summer blessing and glitter to our sun and sky paintings…and our lotion legs.
