I will admit, I do get “carried away” with some of my ideas but I CAN’T HELP MYSELF!!! Last week we made hand prints so… Why not Footprints???
I picked up some books at the library to show the kids different animal tracks; the DIFFERENT SHAPES & PATTERNS animals make & WHY. (For me, this is the BEST PART as I can actually SEE the kids trying to figure out a logical response as their facial expressions change.) All right then, let us remove our shoes & socks… AHHH. Wiggle our toes, stretch our feet. What is the PURPOSE of our feet? Let us walk around & FEEL how our feet work…hold us upright… balance…run… walk etc.
LET’S MAKE “FOOT TRACKS ” ( This is when PRECISE orchestration becomes IMPERATIVE !!)
1. Everyone stand in line
2. What color do you choose?
3. Wiggle your “tootsies” into the paint
4. Step onto the clean paper…
5. Wash your feet
EVERYONE DONE!! YEAH
