This year the Extended Day children have been entranced by all things magical.
They often make up games involving magical creatures such as superheroes, ghosts, fairies, and dragons.
They use sticks as magic wands and turn their Morah into all sorts of silly things.
We often have a treasure hunt during outside play in which a “fairy” (Morah) buries treasure (beads) around the ship and the children get to search for, collect this treasure, and take it home.
This paired with their love of glitter and rainbows inspired our direction with art this year.
We have a magical extravaganza planned for Siyum Night involving fairy and dragon wings, a
treasure hunt for resin gems, magic wands, potions, and a magical art show.
For the Fun Run piece, the children carved designs into round pieces of clay using various tools.
After the medallions were dry, the children painted them in a variety of pastel colors.
The children then coated the clay in a layer of Modge Podge to protect the paint.
The children dusted the medallions with glitter.
The finished medallions were arranged by layering pieces on top of one another and alternating the colors.
The medallions were then glued into a white shadow box frame. Come bid on this magical piece at the Fun Run!
