Art and Music Day!

Enjoy an Art and Music day! Provide some various center activities with classical music (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart) in the background. Here are some examples of centers: (I'd suggest using about 4-6 centers)

**Basket of Art images (2 of each...Monet, Van Gogh, Rodin, Renoir, Degas...etc) for a matching memory game.
**Box of Kids Art Books
**Watercolor painting table with paints, brushes and watercolor paper
**Box of kids musical instruments on a small rug...drums, maracas, mini harp, triangle
**Matching game with musical note flashcards
**Crossword Puzzle with Art words
**Chalkboard/Whiteboard area for creative drawing
**Floor paper/Washable markers
**Crafty activity/glue and cutting
**Color mixing activity with water and food coloring. Give directions on how to make green with yellow and blue, etc. (might be a good activity for the porch)
