Father's day craft

I found this father's day craft by crayola

I thought it is cute and easy enough for our little ones to make :)

Enjoy!

A nutritious snack

I just thought I'd share

I found Jessica talking to her stuff animals

telling them that if they want a snack

before bed it has to be a healthy one

so here she is cooking a healthy snack for them :)

Adorable :)

Graduation time!

Today was my daughter's Pre-K graduation :)

Here in this picture she is holding a bubble in her mouth

(those are the teacher's instructions

to make sure they listen and don't talk)

what a good girl!

I finally got a smile from her :)

Here she is saying

When I grow up I want to be...

a Hair stylist.

Look at daddy's girl!

We are so proud of her!

She is so excited!

Now to Kindergarten :)

The Princess and the Pea

As promised, here are the pictures for

The Princess and the Pea felt story

all you have to do is print them out

and glue some velcro on the back

to use them on a felt board

or put some magnet strips instead of velcro

to use them in the refrigerator or magnetic board.

Enjoy!

Castles, castles and more castles

Here are some instructions on

how to make a fun castle

out of a shoe box.

This is such a fun theme,

you can make castles out of blocks

boxes, and also sandcastles :)

A book that would be fun to read with it would be

The Princess and the Pea

I would be looking for my felt story pieces

for this story to post them soon :)

Enjoy!

thanks for reading my blog :)

and thanks for your requests

I hope I can get to all of them as they come :)

Insect memory game

Thanks for letting me know what you are working on :)
Here is a little bugs memory game to keep the little ones
busy and happy learning while they play :)

Soap Bubbles Recipe

Now that is getting so hot here in Florida,

I thought it would be nice to try this new soap bubble recipe:

1 cup of soap flakes or 1/4 cup of liquid dish soap

1 cup of water

1/2 tsp. cooking oil

Mix in a cup or bottle.

It makes a fun outdoor play and a bathtub toy

specially if you make it with the soap flakes.

You can teach your little one to blow bubbles

with a plastic straw while in the bathtub :)

Enjoy!

What are you working on lately?

Hello everybody, in the next 2 weeks our preschool is working on Graduation

I would really like to know what themes are you planning for the upcoming weeks?

thanks for your input :)

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all Moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!!!

Art Show II

Here is more from the art show :)

this one is really cute, they painted blindfolded

not knowing what colors they were choosing

was very fun :)

Remember to save a little bit of pasta

everytime you cook it, your child can get

creative with it and make you a collage :)

This one is rice art,

some of the rice is colored and here is how to do it

place 1/4 cup of vinegar with

3 or 4 drops of food coloring

put some uncooked rice to soak in the color mixture

for about 5 minutes

drain it and let it dry

now ready to make some rice art

Here we have some car racing painting

very fun specially for the little boys :)


How about some nature art,
don't forget to collect some seashells
when going to the beach,
they can even paint the shells
for more fun


And this one is painted with marbles,
in my classroom we put the marbles
inside a big closed container
so the kids are not touching them (safety reasons)
we put the paper inside the container
and let the kids squirt a little paint
on the paper to make the marble art :)



Enjoy!
Get creative :)

Art Show

Hello everybody, I finally have taken a little time to post here in my blog.

A LOT of things have happened in the past month

really not worth talking about :( but anyways....

At school we had an art show, we collected art

from our 2's, 3's and 4 y. olds all year long

I though it would be a good idea to post some of them

in case you decide to have some fun with your little ones

making art

this first one is "sand art"

we used colored sand

just give your child a glue bottle

construction paper and the colored sand

and see what they come up with...

The next one is made with

watercolors

This one is lego painting

make sure every color has a different lego piece

and a hint... don't put too much paint on the plate

that way you can see the separation of the dots from the lego

This one is made by painting in foil

you can either use fingerpaints

or acrylic paints, just make sure you use

something on your child to cover their clothes :)

And this one is one of my favorites,

vinegar and tissue paper

let your child dip the pieces of tissue paper on vinegar

while wet place them on the construction paper

let it dry;

when dry peel the tissue paper

and you'll she that awesome effect

hint: you might want to do it outdoors

because of the strong smell of vinegar.

Enjoy!

I'll be posting some more art projects this week :)

thanks so much for reading my blog,

and for the nice encouraging comments everybody

it is greatly appreciated :)

God Bless,
