Vegetable Art: Making edible faces

Today with the help of Catrin, the children tried a new and different form of art: using vegetables to create a face. This provided an opportunity to use the names of vegetables, which were not always familiar to the children. It also allowed some of the class, who are less comfortable using pens, crayons or paints, to express their ideas in a different and rather novel way. Another positive aspect of this activity was the possibility to change one's mind, since nothing was ever permanent!

As you can see, the class 2o artists were in creative mood.

After the works of art were dismantled, the remaining vegetables were chopped up, made into delicious vegetable soup by Catrin and eaten with relish by the children!

Please take the chance to talk to you child about the many different faces and the vegetables used in them.
