Yesterday was all about spirals. The students made FIMO snails and lollipops. To make the stripes on the lollipops, it's not important to separate the stripes of colors. I had the students smoosh, mix and swirl the colors all together. Then they roll the colorful ball of clay into a "snake". When I helped the students roll the ends of the clay in opposite directions, the colors make stripes like on a candy cane. From there the students roll their clay into a spiral.
It's fun to paint with water. Brown butcher paper or boxes turn color when painted with water. Absolutely no mess. After we walked around the spiral path a few times, we practiced painting spirals with water. After that, we drew snails and lollipops with gel sticks using our new knowledge of spirals!
