Toques for the Little Chefs
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 22nd, 2010
Preschool just wouldn't be complete if we didn't get to cook a meal or two right? Kids need not cook difficult dishes to enjoy the experience. Just let them fry some hot dogs or any of their favorite food, and I guarantee they'll have a smile on their face when they're done. In fact, the simpler the meal, the better. It makes them feel that they actually could already cook! Before taking out those pots and pans, we always enjoy dressing up fir...Read More » Tags

First Snip: Learning to Cut
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 19th, 2010
Cutting is an essential skill that each of us needs to learn during our early years. It may be scary at first, but it's easy to get the hang of it. - Children love playing with things they are not supposed to play with. They love touching things they are not supposed to touch. So when we tell them NOT to play with scissors, obviously, we just triggered their curiosity. They do not yet realize that scissors can hurt if not used properly, hen...Read More » Tags

SM MOA presents Passport to the Universe
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 14th, 2010
Wouldn't it be great if we could all travel the universe? Wouldn't it be great if we could see a star up close? Well now you can! Last November 6, 2010, I was one of the lucky bloggers who was able to view the sneak peek of SM Mall of Asia's Science Discovery Center's newest feature show, PASSPORT TO THE UNIVERSE. This film was made in the US and narrated by Tom Hanks. This was not any ordinary show, simply because it is shown inside the 15...Read More » Tags

Triangles on a Triangle Hat
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 13th, 2010
It's always fun to work with collages when we're studying a certain concept. A collage of shapes, collage of numbers and other things that we can think of. However, it can also get boring if we just keep doing the collage over and over again without adding any twists. So for our lesson on triangles, we decided to make a triangle hat! I honestly thought at first that it wasn't going to be a cute activity. I thought it was too simple. But that d...Read More » Tags

Animal Noses Finger Puppets
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 11th, 2010
This is an activity I found on another blog site once again. I unfortunately saw it a long time ago and no longer remember what site it was! Send a reply if you think this came from your site and I would gladly acknowledge you. Children usually enjoy pretend play. Younger children still find it difficult but they still enjoy the funny games and cute toys used. Since we were learning all about our noses, we decided to let them try making their ...Read More » Tags

Sweet Paint with Powdered Juice
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 8th, 2010
Children, regardless of the age, love painting! Their paintings vary from shapes, to everyday objects, or even just abstract art! As long as there's a paintbrush in hand, you can only expect a masterpiece to follow! However, as much as we want them to have all the fun possible, paint can be difficult to wash of at times and also not good to eat! Toddlers would put ANYTHING in their mouths and this is one of those things we never want them to tast...Read More » Tags

Feed the animals
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 4th, 2010
Just a few days ago, I shared the Pin the Nose on the animals activity. Most of the kids already knew which nose belonged to which animal even before we started. This time, we tried learning about the other things animals do with their noses. The kids all know that noses are used for smelling, but they have yet to learn how some animals use their noses for eating and picking up objects. To introduce to them how elephants eat, we prepared a sim...Read More » Tags

Pin the Nose on the Animals
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 1st, 2010
We were on our topic on noses and wanted to see if the kids knew which animal had which nose. The game is similar to Pin the Tail on the Donkey, only they aren't blindfolded and we're using the noses! Before anything else, we first showed them the pictures of animals with different noses. Some animals had long noses, others had short noses! Some had big noses, some had small noses! Later on, we showed them the different noses and even mixed it...Read More » Tags
