This morning Kaydynce and Charlotte began painting with dye on their paper, crayons, pastels and felts were soon used and the magical combination of dye over pastels and crayons was soon discovered!
"It looks like magic aye" Charlotte shared to her friends excited by what had happened on the paper in front of her.
The group of children continued in conversation comparing dye to paint, recognising that it dries a lot faster and doesn't cover everything up underneath.
"Look when it (the dye) foes over anything it still shows up" Charlotte announced to everyone after painting over top of her name!
The girls continued on their pieces of work, completely engaged and showing wonderment and awe as they worked on their pieces of art work.
"That's weird - it turned red" Macy exclaimed.
"I'm gunna try pink. Hey look what the pink does. The pink works too!" Pippa shared with her friends after painting dye over top of the pink crayon!
Macy shared with her friends that her piece of paper was small because she had folded it in half to make a card. Tu meke - Fantastic. Charlotte and Kaydynce had completed their art work by this time so they were keen to help Macy.
"okay you can do it there... I am writing up here" Macy told them.
This play experience was a treasure to observe as the children questioned, hypothesised and responded to what was happening with the different art tools. Often sharing with excitement with their friends what they discovered as they tried something new - an exciting play experience.
