Finger Paint Cherry Tree Pop Art
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 3rd, 2011
Another school year just started for us and we wanted to introduce paint to the kids by starting with the finger paint. I have had experience with kids in the past that cried when we tried to make them paint with their hands! They just didn't like the idea of getting their hands dirty! So finger painting is actually a small step for the child to slowly understand that it's okay to get some paint on their hands. Besides finger painting, we were...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Make Your Own Guitar in Preschool
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 30th, 2011
Most kids love making any kind of sound or music using whatever materials possible. I remember loving to make a whole lot of ruckus myself when I was younger. It's cute and funny how every random thing around them can be made into anything they want with just a little imagination. But of course, it doesn't hurt to also make our own instruments using recycled materials! We thought of making guitars because of our students' fascination over it. ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

The Easy Way to Make a Beautiful Sunset Painting
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 18th, 2011
I love sunsets. I don't exactly know how to describe it... but I do have one word for it. Magical. I feel that the way the sky lights up and the colors mix together as the setting sun goes to hiding is just too beautiful for words to describe. Which is why I also fall in love with pictures and paintings that are able to capture this beauty. - Now, I have always been a fan but I personally can't paint that well. It looks easy to do but is re...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Making and Playing with CLEAN Mud
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 14th, 2011

But as I grew older, I also slowly became aware of all the gross and icky stuff that goes with these messy games..all the germs and various stuff which I hate to mention. As soon as I realized these, messy play time was over. Kids nowadays enjoy the same me...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )
