Answer to Question 1

A mural can be done on a specific topic or theme. For example, the mural can focus on beauty in the woods with each child painting something they see in this natural environment.
The benefits are many and include learning to cooperate with others, making a decision about what he or she will contribute, recognizing how their art enriched the mural, and expanding their language by listening and interacting with the group.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary.
Children and the teacher collect small cardboard boxes of varying sizes (toothpaste, jewelry, small cereal boxes, small milk containers, etc.). The group will discuss and determine what they will build with these boxes. The boxes can be glued, taped, or attached to a heavy piece of cardboard. Later, the children can determine how the boxes will be decorated and displayed. Each child who has contributed to the three-dimensional structure will have their name included in the display of the work. This project will provide many benefits to the children involved including a different way of creating art, collaborating with others to make decisions, problem solving how to attach the boxes to the base, using language in meaningful interactions, and building self-confidence as they recognize their contribution to the project.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
