Twinkle Feet & Rocking Star

Today we had a combined Art and Music lesson.  I found this great activity from a blog post that was featured on The Crafty Crow (see it here).

First we made some musical notes
 using our watercolor paints: 

Then we played our notes on glass jars filled with the same colors.  Malachi was very focused and careful to play the correct notes:
While Karis did eventually play her song notes, she was a little more free-spirited and danced back and forth while playing whatever note pleased her:

Asher didn't worry with notes either.  He just liked to bang the glasses while naming the colors he knows.  This was great practice for his speech and we worked on learning the colors he doesn't know too:

When the composers were through
with their songs, they painted:

Karis likes to mix her mediums:

Here are Karis and Malachi's songs, respectively, and the titles they chose for them:
