Warm lions

http://youtu.be/N8yuyekP_So ..........this song on YouTube was used to introduce warm colors to kg kiddos. We talked about hot things like fire, the sun, and hot lava to help them remember which colors are warm.

Following our intro, kg painted a whole 12 x 18 inch piece of paper with warm color tempera paints. They used Popsicle sticks to scratch designs into the paper.

On day 2 we read this book:

It's a perfect tie in, as it focuses on drawing lions and other animals. It's also about being nice to each other (a good lesson for littles).

After the book, kids set out to collage the lion faces, using the painted paper from the previous class, yarn, and construction paper. Results were adorbs!
