With the nights drawing in, children will likely now be awake as the sun sets, instead of tucked up asleep in their beds. So it’s a great opportunity for them to observe nature’s daily wonder and to be inspired by it.

And our easy bird silhouette art project is a great place to start. Children are encouraged to pay attention to how the sunset’s colors change, and to play with the paint as they blend the colors together and create depth and pattern in the sky.
