Do you worry about your infants putting everything in their mouths that they can lay their hands on? But at the same time you want them to be exposed to new textures and learn new motor skills? Worry no more! Come and join us for Infant Explorers on Thursday, April 4, 2013 @ 10:30 AM where we shall have tons of fun painting with homemade edible paints. Here’s the finger paint recipe that we are using.

Muril Wilson is an award winning artist and former President of the Tomball Art League. She’s been painting ever since, as a young adult, the Teton Mountains took her breath away. Born in Bellmead, a suburb of Waco, her travels back and forth to visit her folks take her through the little town of Calvert where she’s in love with their historic buildings. To date she’s painted twenty-two of them, many of them bought by the building owners. This month she is displaying some of those Calvert paintings as well as other Texas scenes and events. See them in Room L 129.

Smart Baby with glassesTomorrow @10:30 AM we are going to play with our food.  Infant Explorers is an infant craft/activity that provides a whirl to all our senses.  One of our moms suggested spaghetti painting for our next infant craft and we are happy to oblige.  Make sure your ready for the mess; we have every intention of making a big one.  Different colors will be added to the fresh cooked pasta for the delight of children attending.   We will paint and squeeze who know what else in the name of creating a truly sensory experience.  This activity is intended children 0-18 months to enjoy and explore.  The bigger the mess the smarter they get. 

Jell-O Painting Infant Explorers!

Submitted by Anna G on Fri, 08/03/2012 - 12:03pm

Leovigilda with Jello Art WorkYesterday we had special guest Leovigilda Genova in our Infant Explores Program.  I had the privilege of showing Leovigilda the ins and outs of Jell-O painting.  We were all slipping and sliding around in abstract full sensory exploration art.  If you have never experienced this particular medium it is highly recommended.  The babies squished it in their fingers and toes.  Afterwards we all cleaned up to play with some infant toys and chase down some bubbles.  Thanks to Leovigilda for participating in our program today and to the happy children of the Katherine Tyra Library community for cutting loose and having fun.

There’s one more Web 2.Yo! class left for the teens this summer. It’s been a blast. Checkout the painting I made with one of the many cool Web sites we’ve explored. It is a site where you can paint in the style of Jackson Pollock.
