It is when she is given free range that she comes up with amazing ideas and gets excited about them. That is learning in her eyes and I love it. And then I then when she starts to problem solve and create on her own, I just ask her for direction. I let it be driven by her. We have had some wonderful moments like that.

You take a hot glue gun and run crayons though it in place of a glue stick onto canvas (cardboard or wood would probably work well also) it makes bright colorful drippy art! I have yet to try this but will be very shortly but I know your kids use glue guns and thought this would be something they may like to try also! (the picture i saw the glue gun had dripped crayon onto it so you may want to give it a try with an old or very cheap one)Amanda Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863434524516852465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-56643420349027125542011-08-01T15:23:30.649-07:002011-08-01T15:23:30.649-07:00First, thank you so much for passing on the wise w...First, thank you so much for passing on the wise words of the Norwegian administrators and king. I lived there for 2 years and have no trouble seeing both the steel and the great love in the people I came to respect and adore.<br /><br />About making mistakes, I wanted to recommend a wonderful article: Hynes-Berry, M., & Itzkowich, R. (2009). The Gift of Error. In A. &. Gibbons (Ed.), Conversations on Early Childhood Teacher Education (pp. 104-112). Auckland, New Zealand: New Zealand Tertiary College. It sounds very obscure, but I am certain that you must know Bonnie and Roger Neugebauer at Childcare Info Exchange and I'm pretty sure this was one of the products from the World Forum held in New Zealand.<br />Thanks so much.<br />Pollypollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254699413434169500noreply@blogger.com
