the growing nest

Move over Mona Lisa there's new keiki's on the block and they're going to turn your little smile into a big "wow"! The "Go Green!" Children's Art Exhibit at The Growing Nest features 40 wondrous students who learn about their planet, animals and being eco-conscience thorough hands-on art projects.
Believe it or not, these little ones are between 18 months and 5 years! In the art and science classes they learn to use, develop and explore their five senses: to see, to feel, to touch, to hear and to taste.

The art exhibit displays the works of art which the children created during their weekly classes on topics such as Safari Animals, The Rainforest, The Ocean Mammals, The Weather and more. They learn the importance of re-cycling and re-using found materials and incorporating them into their art projects.

In learning about the weather, the children used newspaper, sticks, ribbons and buttons to make a kite. As they learned about the ocean and the creatures that live in it, they learn to use the scissors to cut out shapes of the fishes and coral and adorn them with sea shells.

The "Go Green!" Children's Art Exhibit will be on display until September 30, 2009. I encourage everyone to view this creative and fun art show. To see the art work from these young and talented artists is truly amazing. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. You'll hear yourself "ohhh and awing"!
