Messy Nest

Oooooh!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! 2017 was such a great year for us! We are so thankful to have gotten a chance to do Messy Nest and loved every minute! Thanks for everyone who joined and/or supported us. Best wishes for 2018 and we’ll keep you posted on our return. 👩🏻‍🎨👨🏽‍🎨🎨

The STEAM class was so much fun!! We truly can’t wait to do another class like this one! The most incredible thing to watch was each child’s interpretation of the project and what they would conjure up and create with the materials given. Absolutely incredible!

What we did:
1. The kids were given a peg board, pegs and colorful rubber bands.

2. After viewing Vincent Van Gogh’s, “The Starry Night,” everyone was given a wide variety of materials in the same color scheme of the painting. They were then challenged to try and recreate the painting. I️ loved seeing their excitement when they would recreate certain parts of the painting, but my favorite was hearing them name the painting themselves before knowing its actual title. ❤️

3. 🙌🏼RUBE GOLDBERGS!!! If you don’t know him, google him or find some on YouTube. We used dominos, toy train sets and marble runs to try and creat our own Rube Goldbergs.
