Peaceful Frogs – Fall 2020
“Peaceful Frogs” is excited to teach nature/art classes for children 3-7 in Hoboken, after school!
This 1 hr class includes:
Part One: Frogs Are Green’s founder Susan Newman Lerer will educate children about the natural world. We read a stories and learn about nature and follow through with a creative project on the same theme.
Part Two: Students create an original artwork that expresses what they’ve learned from the day’s activities.
Students will use these materials:
- Colored pencils, crayons, paint, markers, and Playdoh with tools
- Stencils of animals, frogs, trees, palms, leaves, flowers, wildlife, etc.
- We will experiment with color, materials and creating 3d objects
- Words that add meaning to their artwork
*The students artwork and the class activities will be photographed and added to online galleries for family and friends to enjoy. *We always ask permission before photographing.
