by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 13th, 2010
We all need shoes... and from this need, our wants grow! Wanting to have new and cute shoes... wanting to give our kids new and cute shoes too! But, since the kids grow up so quickly, these shoes also quickly shrink! (Yes, the shoes shrink!..kiddin' of course) So what do we do with these shoes? Give them away or throw them in the garbage! Well, just before letting these go, why not have a fun and messy art activity with the kids first! . Wh...Read More » Tags

Box Kicking Art
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 7th, 2010
Toddlers are still learning the different skills their body can perform. Jumping, walking, running are some of the activities that they are still learning to perfect. Throwing objects is part of these skills, and so is kicking things. To adults, kicking is just like walking with force! It's a very simple task for us, but for these kids, kicking means letting loose of what foot and making sure the other foot is able to keep balance! Here's anot...Read More » Tags

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

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! T...Read More » Tags

Sponge Painting
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 3rd, 2010
Still on the topic of squares, we decided to let the children try some sponge painting! The kids especially enjoyed this activity because of the unique process. Squeezing the sponge hard enough allowed paint to gush out! It became a bit messy for some, but still a lot of fun! Though we didn't really teach it, the children were able to discover how sponges can absorb liquids, and that the liquids can be squeezed out! Accidental learning takes plac...Read More » Tags

Pasta Painting
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 19th, 2010
I'm the type of teacher who really likes those messy art activities! I feel that children are able to express themselves better this way! I like that they are free to be as messy as they want to be for a while. That being said, this activity I'm about to share is one of my favorites! It wasn't as messy as I imagined it to be since the kids were in their school uniforms, but it was still a lot of fun! We were on the topic of long and short but ...Read More » Tags
