🌍 A world map made with our own hands!
To celebrate Earth Day, we decided to explore our planet in a very special way: by creating a 3D world map out of salt dough! 🧂🎨 Each student became an expert on a continent and was given the mission of researching its main geographical features—mountains, rivers, deserts, mountain ranges… Quite a challenge for creating a technical sheet! With the help of relief maps and scale models, we worked together as a team to piece together the puzzle of the world on a large cardboard base. We then covered it with plastic to faithfully recreate the continents in salt dough. Once … ➕
Playtime with Mondrian: Shapes and Primary Colours
🟥🟦🟨 In January, we’ve been taking inspiration from the artist Piet Mondrian to continue exploring art and all its possibilities.

What amazing little artists we have in our classroom! 🧑🎨👩🎨 Art in Kindergarten is a wonderful window into the world — and we’re enjoying it so much! 🎨✨
Exploring Colours and Textures with a Sensory Mural
These past weeks in the Infant classroom, we’ve been exploring autumn colours and textures in a very fun and engaging way. We created large collaborative murals using recycled materials such as egg cartons, paper rolls, and cardboard pieces of different shapes and sizes. 🍂🍁 The little ones touched, glued, painted… and above all, explored with all their senses! 🖌️👃👀It was an activity that stimulated their creativity, fine motor skills, and curiosity about the world around them. The result was as original as they are! 🌈💡
