Grass flower art

The children had a chance to play outdoor sometime last week. It had been raining all month, right up to the Chinese New Year, so when the sun peeked out for a while, the children could not wait to spend sometime outside. The teachers had set up the Art table out on the backyard porch so that the children could do some finger painting while enjoying the nice weather.  Some of the children immediately set out to work with the finger paint. Not Darren though! He preferred to walk around the yard. The grass had overgrown a bit with all that rain, and grass flowers sprouted here and there. Darren picked a few of the grass flowers and brought them over to the Art table. Then he took one blade of grass and started painting with it. The effect was lovely. Soon, all the children wanted to paint with the grass flowers. Young children are so amazingly creative...!
