Art and Practical Life only day

This is what we did for art yesterday.

3. This is the end result! E had loads of fun and naturally asked for more.

2. Dip chain in paint and place on sheet of paper or slosh it around.

1. Place white paper in cookie sheet.

E's eldest brother came home sick from school. Consequently, I kept him home for a day and instead of keeping with E's daily tight schedule, we kept it loose and did art. He helped with folding of cleaning rags as well - practical life.

Since his brother was home, I slept in a little from being tired the day before and ended up oversleeping a little. E woke up before me and that is rare. Anyway, being nearsighted, I asked him to tell me the time as I could not make out the numbers from a distance. He said, "The numbers show that it is morning time." That just tickled me no end...... Reminded me of my own brother when he was little. A family friend came over and when asked what time it was, he said night time! I am in awe of children as their reality and sense of self is the most devoid of illusions hence leading me to a sacred place I vaguely recall - a time when I too was innocent and gave no cloak to my words. They'd tumble out of my mouth as I saw and thought of things. Totally transparent.
