Recycled Christmas Wreath
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 18th, 2010
Who says you can't make a Christmas decor using stuff lying around the house? This week, I decided to let my 8 year old tutee make her own Christmas wreath. I gave her suggestions as to what we can do and she chose to make a bottle cap wreath. It's really easy to make and will sure bring some Christmas cheer when you hang it on the front door. - What you will need Bottle caps Paper plate Green paint and paint brush Glue gun or oth...Read More » Tags

M&M Christmas Tree
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 17th, 2010
Here's another fun way to have the toddlers decorate their own Christmas tree. I'm sure they'd be begging you for more! I don't think the challenge here will be to get them to finish it, but rather to get them to stop eating the chocolates! This activity was shared by my co-teacher, Sandra Ong. She is a Chinese nursery teacher from a private school in the Philippines. Thank you Teacher Sandra. - What you will need: Pre-printed Christ...Read More » Tags

Ding Dong Ding Dong Christmas Bells
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 17th, 2010
Ding dong, ding dong.... Can you hear the Christmas bells? We've had so many activities lined up for the holidays that we no longer knew what do to first and how to make each activity a unique experience for the kids. First, we thought of using cups for the bells and decided to let them paint the cups and decorate them with sequins or craft punch. However, we recently did this in our Christmas tree making activity. So we had to think of something...Read More » Tags

Make your own Christmas Tree
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 14th, 2010
In my opinion, Christmas just wouldn't be complete without a tree. It is only my 2nd year of teaching and still I wish we had a tree in our classroom. I want to buy one but it's kinda more expensive than I want it to be. Hence, my partner and I decided to make our own Christmas tree... or rather, let the kids make their own tree. We didn't want it to be just any tree, we wanted a big tree they could display at home. - What you will need ...Read More » Tags

Colorful Mitten Christmas Wreath
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 11th, 2010
I've seen a variety of Christmas wreaths in various blog sites this season. I loved most of the ideas but I wanted to come up with something different and unique. Last year, my kids made a puzzle wreath! It turned out to be really cute and I'll try to post a blog about it as soon as I find those pictures! This year, we wanted to make a hand print wreath but the other class had already done it a week ahead of us. So we thought of something else. M...Read More » Tags

Design your own Christmas Balls
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 9th, 2010
While trying to come up with a cool activity for Christmas, I came across several blogs which shared ways to personalize a Christmas ball ornament. I loved most of them but had a huge problem with materials. I come from the Philippines so several of the materials these blogs suggested were either unavailable or difficult to find. One of the favorite ideas I remember seeing required a transparent Christmas ball that could be opened. All hope is...Read More » Tags

Personalized Santa Ornament
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 4th, 2010
Besides my teaching job in the preschool, I also work with 2 other kids. One age 8, and another age 2. Since Christmas is coming up, my 8 year old tutee asked... or should I say BEGGED that we do some Christmas art. I agreed. (as long as she didn't have much homew0rk). I was trying to come up with activities that they both could do together, but the activities I kept coming up with were those that would be great for a toddler but not for a scho...Read More » Tags

Popcorn Picture Frame
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 1st, 2010
Who knew there was so much you could do with popcorn? Just a few days ago, I shared our taste activity using popcorn. Today, let me share with you another awesome activity that you may even give as gifts for the coming holidays! I used to make picture frames using uncooked pasta, but it was always difficult to get the pasta to stick with plain glue. I usually used a glue gun. So we thought of using an alternative. Since we had so much leftov...Read More » Tags

You could even hang it on your wall! Thanks to House of Baby Piranha for the awesome idea. - What you will need: Red Cardboard P...Read More » Tags
