June is a lovely month in our area with the blossoming of a coastal Maine symbol - the beautiful lupine plant. We always take the time to read a favorite story which enchants the children each year,
Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney:
To go along with the same theme, the children were introduced to an art activity to make their own thumbprint lupines.
 |
| White paper cut lengthwise; green paper folded with cutting lines for leaves; tray with green crayon, jar containing pencil, scissors, gluestick; small tin which contains dampened sponged with purple paint. |
 |
| The child gathers materials and brings them to a table. Next, a green line is drawn on the white paper and the leaves are cut out. |
 |
| The leaves are then glued to the bottom... |
 |
| and thumbprints are added. |
