Snail

I wanted to make a creature that begins with "s" but not a snake because we already did that for the Letter of the Week "S". I thought about making a paper bag "shark" or maybe a paper plate "spider" or pick up some sticks for a "stick insect" but I wanted something simple (fuss-free too!) for the afternoon. I found a "collage snail" in No Time For Flashcards and a paper plate snail from Sing! Play! Create!: Hands-on Learning for 3- to 7-year-olds by Lisa Boston so I got inspired to make my own version of a snail with Sophie.



I was bold enough not to put Sophie in a highchair since colour pencils and markers are kind of “low-risk” art materials. Ah Gong saw Sophie coloring the paper plates and decided to lend a hand. He was so tickled to see her so candid and possessive with the markers. He thinks Sophie is really a fireball…
