THE COLORS OF MAY
"You are as welcome as the flowers in MAY."
- Charles Macklin
Many places are close to the end of their school
year and are experiencing the colors of May.
Others are planting for the colors of summer. I want to share some May color with you and
let your imagination absorb it with pleasure.FRIENDS |
"'Tis
like the birthday of the world,
When earth was born in bloom;
The light is made of many dyes,
The air is all perfume:
There's crimson buds, and white and blue,
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers."
- Thomas Hood

"The
air is like a butterfly
With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings."
- Joyce Kilmer, Spring

And sings."

Easy to create - coffee filters with water base markers. Sprinkle with a mist of water and the colors will bleed and fascinate the children. The butterfly on the right is created when paint is placed on a folded piece of paper and then with gentle fingers the color is moved between the two sides of the paper.
Pinned! Spring is so inviting and the children are sure to relate to these colorful activities! Thank you.
