Where's the other half? It's not there. It's a semicircle. I know some things that actually look like a semicircle. If I turn it this way, sometimes pieces of watermelon can look like a semicircle. And look at that. Even a rainbow can look like a semicircle. Wow. Should we sing about it? Let's do it. Rainbow. Semicircle. Rainbow. Semicircle. Rainbow. That's right.

Because we're going on a field trip, we're going to skip our wiggle break today and go straight to our field trip. Are you ready? You can say, yes, I am. Let's try again. Are you ready? Yes, I am. Me too. Okay. On the count of three, we're going to go on our field trip. Here we go. One. Two. Three. Cherry Art Studio. We're in California. Let's go inside and meet my friend Mary. Come on. Hi, Mary Cherry. Miss Monica, it's so good to have you here. I'm so excited. Come on in. Yes. Here we go. What do you do in this art studio? Well, Mary Cherry Art Studio is a process art studio. So that means we're all about the making and the doing rather than the finished product. So can children make anything here? I mean, sky's the limit. Within reason. That's exciting. Okay. Are we creating today? You know it. We have such a great day planned. We're going to do one of my favorites, artist trading cards. Let's get to it. Yes, let's do it. So what are we creating? Okay, so artist trading cards are so much fun. Any age can participate in artist trading cards from little littles all the way to adults. And what they are are mini works of art. Okay. So Miss Monica, there's just one rule when it comes to artist trading cards and that's the card needs to be two and a half by three and a half inches. Okay. Let's hear that. Parents, teachers, two and a half by three and a half inches. That's officially the artist trading card size. Yes. Got it. And you want to have sturdy paper. We're using watercolor paper today. It won't be so effective if you use printer paper or something like that. Okay. So you got your artist trading card and you get to use any supplies that you have at school or around the house or anywhere that you are to make a little mini work of art. So, you know, I see you going to the stickers. We have pink sticks. We have washi tape or decorative tape it's sometimes called. Little felt pieces and foam pieces that are actually adhesive. Love this. I love those. Glue sticks and little collage paper, tissue paper, things like that. And we have some paints here. So it's really up to you. I love this. And I always tell adults save the scrap paper. You can use scrap paper, anything you have. Yes. Okay. There's no wrong way to do it. Go for it. And the thing about artist trading cards is you get to trade them after. So let's start making and see what happens. Let's do it. And you can create with us. Yes. All right. I'm going to have so much fun with all of these little accessories here. I mean, give me all the pink all the time and I'm in. So if you have a favorite color, you can use your favorite. You can mix it up. You can do a rainbow. Like I said, there's no wrong way to do it. Ooh. I am loving this. I think I want some washi tape now. You know what? I want to show you and my friends at home something really interesting. Okay. We use watercolors a lot and you can see I have these like two little baths set up here. Okay. And I call one my dirty bath and one clean bath. Right now they're both clean and I'll show you. I'm going to make this one dirty. I'm going to give it a bath so you can see that pink color in here because I want to clean my brush before I go to the next color. Right. So we do something called the artist trick around here where we wipe the brush on the side, wipe, wipe, wipe. And now I can go into that clean bath with some fresh water. And then around here with my watercolors, I can choose a color. Let's try blue. And I say round and round and round we go to wake up those colors. Round and round and round we go. And now I've got a lot of paint on here. If it was drippy, I can do the artist trick on the jar. I'll just wipe it off in the dirty bath. In the dirty bath. Now this isn't something you might master right away, but practice and it will become part of your professional artist trick. Fun. I'm going to try round and round and round we go. Wake up those colors. Look. Let's see what it looks like. Ooh. Yeah. That looks really vibrant, doesn't it? That's fun. When it comes to trading, you can put all your trading cards on a bulletin board. Like you might see one behind me here. See that? You can put your trading cards up on a poster or a board and then friends can come along and say, ooh, I love that one. I'm going to make one and trade. Oh, and they can take it off and then put another one on? Yes. And that's fun. I like this. So you can do that at home or in a classroom. Isn't that cool? And that sounds good for even a party. Oh, it's so much fun for a party. Yes. And it's this kind of big work of art that everyone can admire and look at and notice different things about us. I love that idea. I think this one is ready for trading. Should we trade? What should I do? Let's do it. This is for you. Thank you. Look at that. Yes. And that's trading cards. Thank you so much for teaching us all about trading cards. You're welcome. Such a pleasure. Okay. I hope you all had fun too. And can we come back again and visit? You know it. You better come back. I love you. Thank you. Miss Monica. Bye. I'm going to put mine here. Right. Let's see. Find a spot. Okay. Right here. Nice choice. Okay. Love. That's cute. To see that filled. Yeah. Fun. Wow. That field trip was so much fun. I'm so happy that we learned how to make our very own trading cards. Now, if you make your very own trading cards, you can show me. You can take a picture. You can even do video. Make sure you tag me if you're on Instagram. Okay, friends. It's time for us to say goodbye. But I'll see you again soon. Goodbye, everyone. I'll see you again soon. Bye, friends. Circle time makes learning fun. Come sing and dance. Come, everyone. Good morning. Train is coming. How are you? Go round and round. All the time. Days of the week.
