Outdoor Art Fun

This summer is flying by. About this time of year the kids start getting bored outside. Have some fun by taking the art outside. There are so many art projects that are more fun outside and you don't have to worry about the mess.

Here are some great Outdoor Art Ideas:

Nature Art Rubbings
Rock Painting
Sidewalk Puffy Paint
Frozen Popsicle Paint
Observation drawings
Paint pictures using sticks and leaves
Do vertical surface painting
Paint with water guns
Paint with your bike
Make mud sculptures
So many more ideas!!!

Here are some of examples of the fun we had with Outdoor Art at the Academy of Gateway.

KINDERGARTEN BOOT CAMP: AN ACADEMY EXCLUSIVE

The Academy is recognized by the community for our kindergarten specific programs including our one-of-a-kind Kindergarten Boot Camp. Our Pre-K program includes hands-on explorations that create new learning connections in language, math, science, social, emotional and physical development. Children investigate “Big Ideas” and are actively involved in seeking answers to their own questions. Intentional daily plans cover a specific range of guidelines that prepare our children to meet and exceed kindergarten readiness standards for both public and private schools. Kindergarten Boot Camp, offered exclusively by Never Grow Up, is a dedicated summer program that teaches important, yet often overlooked, skills needed to navigate kindergarten with confidence. Skills such as remembering a lunch number, carrying a lunch tray or returning a library book are examples of how we “train” our Academy kids to “be all they can be”!

Gold Sneaker Certified

Healthy habits are instilled at a young age, with most habits being formed during adolescence. We feel it important to instill good habits at an early age, addressing behavioral factors that contribute to overweight and obesity from the beginning. The Gold Sneaker initiative was developed to enhance policy related to physical activity and nutrition within licensed child care facilities across Tennessee. Policies we've adopted include minimum requirements on physical activity, sedentary activities, breastfeeding, meal time, behaviors, portion sizes, and a tobacco-free facility. Together, we can create healthy habits for life.
