Squeeze Painting
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 4th, 2010
We were on the topic of hands and wanted the kids to something unique. We started off by asking them: "What can your hands do?" They then suggested a variety of things from clapping to building! Some even suggested walking which then led to us trying to walk with our hands! A sure funny scene! We then suggested hugging and squeezing! We hugged the stuffed bears and hugged each other! As for the squeezing, we used those little squeaky toys and tri...Read More » Tags

Fruit Loop Sand Art
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 3rd, 2010
Fruit loops are really good to eat, but they're also fun to play with! I have used fruit loop several times before, and I'm using it again! This time however, we decided to crush the fruit loop and turn it into sand! You may also use colored sand as an alternative, however, using fruit loop takes away the fear that one of our kids might swallow it and get a tummy ache! . . What you will need Fruit Loop Printed picture Crayons G...Read More » Tags

by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 30th, 2010
I have two hands... the left and the right! Perfect for the wings of a beautiful butterfly! There must be 20 or more crafts for kids on butterflies!

We made sticky, oozy, goo!
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 29th, 2010
A few days ago, we were learning all about our hands and how our hands can feel various things! We tried touching soft and hard objects, rough and smooth, hot and cold! But there was something that the kids were not use to feeling everyday! We wanted them to feel sticky, oozy, goo! After touching it and exploring with it, we asked them how it felt. We didn't get a single answer! The goo just left them speechless and in awe. It seemed as if they h...Read More » Tags

I wasn't planning to blog about this, but since several people have been asking me what happened to the camera.... here it is! Last Tuesday, September 21, I got into a cab empty handed and walked out with a DSLR camera. It was left behind by the owner, and I decided to take it home. HOLD ON....

Name Recognition Part 3
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 25th, 2010
In my past posts, I shared different ways to help children recognize their own names. I shared music, and pre-reading skills.. So this time, let's do some art! It's always important that the kids at least become familiar with the first letter of their names . What you will need: Any small objects that can be glued (bottle caps, sequins, glitter, sand etc.) Print out of their name with the first letter emphasized . . Just l...Read More » Tags

Puffy Ice Cream
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 23rd, 2010
This has grown to be one of my FAVORITE art activities to date! Thank you TeachPreschool for sharing the idea! I always have so much fun watching the kids get down and messy! The way they do their art work also gives teachers a chance to see how the kids really are. We noticed how our naturally messy children did not have a problem getting as messy as possible, while our naturally clean kids were a little conscious as to how to touch the cream!
