momstown Milton's Art & Play Program - Balls of Fun

 Our momstown Milton tots had Balls of Fun at our Art and Play Program. This month the theme of our educational curriculum was "At the Circus" so we decided to juggle, roll and bounce our balls through gobs of paint to see what would happen.
























We started off with a variety of balls that were different in colour, size and texture - sensory overload! The kids were hesitant at first because they were unsure about getting the balls dirty. With a little bit of prompting, they soon began to get right into it and discovered the different types of prints that a golf ball made in contrast to a fuzzy tennis ball or a big smooth plastic ball.





Other learning concepts came into play such as sharing as the little ones rolled the ball back and forth across the table to each other.


When all was done, the mamas were very thankful to have the Huggies Simply Clean wipes in reach to clean up their little messy artists.




Join us next month when we make fishing rods and go put them to the test in the creek for our On the Pond theme.
