We managed a lovely spot of art this morning. Evan and autumn both made clay objects and added the funny foam sparkly topping to it, that we got as a Christmas present. Evan intended on making an Octopod, but the structure couldn't withstand the arms, so it became a mimic octopus instead. Autumn made a horse which became a unicorn. Evan used the thumbpot technique to make the octopus body, and pipe cleaners to create the apatures beneath the clay, as did autumn for the unicorn.
They both expressed a wish to make faerie homes in the woods, so we popped out behind the house to the ancient woodland to find a good spot. A small clearing became the setting. Evan chose a small structure on a tree to make a faerie home. Autumn made a bed, and created a spikey roof to spike the bottoms of dragons to keep the faeries safe. This was inspired by our time at forest school last week.
