Truffala Trees, Yes Please!

To finish our study of the fabulous author Dr. Seuss this week, we made Truffala tree's using shaving cream, glue and paint. We first cut the grass and the tree trunk and glued them onto the pretty blue sky. Next came the best part, we got messy with our hands! I have two favorite quotes from this lesson...."Mrs. Brown, we get to use our hands?!?! Yayyyy!" and "What fun would it even be if we didn't get to use our hands?" These kids crack me up! I'm glad I was able to bring a little bit of messy joy to their lives today....first it was Justin Bieber and now messy painting. How will I ever top this week?
