We made traffic lights at the snack and the art tables this morning.

For the traffic light snack we used rectangle biscuits, cream cheese,
red and green grapes and yellow peppers.

Easy to build and delicious to eat.
But what is it about peppers that children are not even interested in trying?
They are sweet and crunchy and brightly coloured.  Luckily I didn't use red,
green and yellow peppers like I first planned.

I wasn`t sure how this art would work out.
Would they trace the cups and paint with the qtips, like pointillism art.
Well they worked it out.
They painted the bottom of the cups then pressed it on the paper – perfect!
