Ready, Set, Go, Flow in Little Falls

Ready ...

Set ...

Go ...









Flow ...

Water into glasses to make a musical xylophone.

Frog music into shapes and colors.

And paint onto fish to make trout fish prints.









Thanks, Little Falls Public Library, for making my latest summer workshop visit a flowing good time.

And thanks, also, to college intern Kyna and her two sisters (Hailey and Sage, who were visiting from Florida) for their help with the stations, and to Elise (author's daughter, college art student, and a young published author with Barnes and Noble) for taking the photographs of the event!

Remember two things from this Splash! activity:

Never wear flip flops when serious rain-making needs to be done. (Looks like your hard work paid off. It poured the next day!)

And, art can be found in the most unusual places, including dirty paint water!







Here are some of your water-word haiku from our time together.

The water is calm
In the river I see fish
The seahorses walk
- Trystan, age 12

Clear water to drink
Water tumbles over rocks
It adds some splashes
- Rebecca, age 11

The rain falls from clouds
Dripping and making puddles
I like when it rains
- Claire, age 10

Some water is clear
Seaweed is green and slimy
Starfish slowly walk
- Alivia, age 10

Oh, I like to swim
My face goes underwater
I play in the pool
- Gabby, age 7



Flow from July into August and have a splash of a good summer and school year too! Thanks for inviting us!
