I started a Creative Arts Playgroup for Clem and other home-schooled kindergarteners. For our first meeting together, we read Kimmel's *Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock.* In the book, Anansi, the African trickster, tricks all the animals into saying the words "What a strange moss-covered rock!" over a magic rock. The animals immediately pass out after saying the magic words, and Anansi steals food from them. The Little Bush Deer watches Anansi's trickery and decides to give him a dose of his own medicine. We used collage and an overlay to create our own Little Bush Deers. Below you see some examples of our labor. Our first playgroup was so much fun. We look forward to getting to know each other better and creating more art together!
