I John 4:10

We had another fantastic day in Imagination Station!  

I keep coming home saying that today was my favorite day!!

Do you remember Day 1 - with the paint blobs?

Well, today was paint blobs part 2!

Each child had a paint blob already cut and pasted to construction paper by my awesome volunteers!

I encouraged each child to look at their paint blob and bring out the details of what they see!

And wow what a creative group of children we have!!

I am so impressed with their drawings that I snapped almost 100 pictures!!

Enjoy this array of photos I could get on the blog!

The materials we used today were sharpies!!

That's it!!

Take a look...

Some are self-explanatory, others fit this week's theme-

WEIRD!!!!

This young lady draw as she called it a:

Cowdeer!

Cobra

Iggy is a WEIRD animal from this week!  

Can you see it??

 

Bird

Space Ship

Ladybug

Elephant

This young man said this way - 

it was an alien brain

BUT

turn it this way and it is a hippopotamus with a mustache!!!

I love it!!!

Children were so proud of their work and I am too!!!

Thanks to my volunteers - you have made my week run so smooth!!  I greatly appreciate all you do to make Imagination Station what it is!!!

Tomorrow is Day 5, our last day and we will end with a really WEIRD project!

Have a front row seat to how awesome children's creativity is on this artist holiday,

Today's Bible Point:

Even when you don't understand... Jesus loves you!

Today's Bible Verse:

"Do to others as you would like them to do to you."

Luke 6:31

And today in Imagination Station...

We started with a pile of rocks!

and added some color and wiggly eyes for fun...

to make:

Pet Rocks!!!

This craft has all the ingredients to make a great Bible School craft:

-the children LOVE it and are excited by it!

-small space to color and decorate effectively in 20 minutes

-easy prep (just need some muscles!)

Instead of using paint, we used sharpies to add color!

We also had some washi tape left over from yesterday's craft and with an art teacher's mind -

I say use it! 

Take a look at these remarkably creative and fantastic Pet Rocks!!

The tape adds a little bit of charm I think!

Some children used the washi tape as arms and legs or hair!

From one eye to three - the wiggly eyes bring the rock to life.

Love the lips-

Another use for yesterday's feathers too! 

Did you know wiggly eyes now have eye lashes and bright colors?

So cool!!

Ninja Pet Rock

Other children wanted to draw their own eyes on the rock -

I say go for it!  

I love it!!!

Little hands working!

I saw so many happy rocks!!

Sharpies worked well.

Some were animal-like

Others silly

And all were SO fun!

I see a mustache!

The children were so excited to have their very own Pet Rock.

I encouraged them to think about where they would place their rock when they take it 

home tomorrow.

Maybe on a book shelf, their night stand or create a home in a shoe box!

Either way I know these pet rocks will be loved!

Many thanks to my wonderful and lovely volunteers that help me with big smiles each and every day!!

Thanks to Red Barn Landscaping of Clayton for the fantastic array of rocks!

I so enjoyed picking out the very best rocks in your wonderful selection!!

What will tomorrow bring??  Maybe the paint blobs back....

Bringing rocks to life while learning a core principle to a 

happy and divinely filled life on this artist holiday,
