A Wild Art Class

Today was the craziest art class we have ever had! There were at least 10 kids with one teacher trying to paint, glue, and create. It was like a nightmare that lasted an entire hour. The first project went bad when there weren't enough shape sponges to go around. Don't worry though, Nicholas is always the first to grab the project materials. We are never without the items we need. Nicholas and the two kids next to him shared their shapes, so things went smoothly in our corner. It wasn't until the tactile table came out that the kids started to grow fangs. I think six kids would be the max for this tiny table so there was plenty of pushing and shoving. Nicholas was the smart one who filled up a measuring cup with noodles and brought them to me to play with. The worst was when the glue project started. Can you believe that for all of those kids there were only five glue sticks? It is true. Glue sticks are Nicholas' favorite thing in the world of art so he wasn't having any part of sharing his. He never glues anything to the paper, he just glues the paper from top to bottom while I stick on the required materials. Finally, it was time for stamps, which we skipped to avoid the madness, and fled through the front door. Maybe some of the new kids will switch to the Tuesday class. Or maybe we will!
