Lacing Red Apples
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 12th, 2011
Lacing is a very difficult task to do, especially for the little ones. No matter how many times you explain it to them, they still have difficulty understanding the concept. But that's okay, because at their age, it's their EAGERNESS TO LEARN that'll get them far! At first, the kids feel frustrated with lacing activities. Because they can't understand it, they refuse to continue doing it. But eventually, they get the small idea that all you ne...Read More » Tags

Stylish Newspaper Hat for the Kids
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 7th, 2011
While trying to come up with another craft activity, I remembered how the kids loved wearing all those funny and silly hats. We wanted them to make their own and tried to come up with a simple way to make one. We already tried paper folding (the one that can also be made into a boat) and eventually came up with this. - What you will need: Newspaper Tape Glue Cut outs or craft punch (for decorations) - What to do: Step 1: ...Read More » Tags

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

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

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

Big Art with Water Pistols and Spray Bottles
by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 18th, 2011
I always love using things found around the house when doing art activities. The kids always look surprise when I hand it to them and tell them to play with it. It's as if they're thinking, "Mommy's gonna get mad!".... "Are you sure?" - For this activity, I decided to make use of sponges, water pistols, spray bottles, roller brushes and scrubs! Whatever I saw lying around... I used! And the kids had so much fun using them too! - What ...Read More » Tags

Sand Bottles with Rock Salt
by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 7th, 2011
I'm sure most of you have already seen sand bottles whenever you go to the beach or just randomly displayed in houses or restaurants. I've been very fond of these since I was young and have always been curious how they were made. As I grew older, I also slowly realized how it wasn't so difficult to make after all. - Now that I knew how to make it, it was time to let the kiddos try it out! The thing is, I didn't have enough sand! The sand I ...Read More » Tags
