Personalized School Bus with the Old Shoe Box
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 12th, 2012
This activity was supposedly a really simple art and craft activity for our theme on transportation. However, as we were planning it, more ideas kept popping out and we eventually came up with this. The idea came from the teachers, but it wouldn’t have turned out this great if the kids weren’t as creative! Good job kids! What you will need Shoe box Yellow cartolina/ paper Thin strip of black paper 4 circul...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Monster Feet for Halloween!
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 28th, 2011
Halloween is coming up and a lot of people around the world are ready to celebrate Halloween. However, we don't celebrate it as much here in the Philippines. Still, who says we can't get it a little with the Halloween cheer right? I personally love the occasion but I don't want to go against the culture of our school as well. So, here's what we ended up with! - What you will need: Two identical tissue boxes Colored paper/cartolina C...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

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 Share Comments (0 )

by Cheryl Villareal on May 6th, 2011
There's no better gift to give our moms than a hug and kiss, so why not make this moment last a little longer with a HUG card? Of course, this hug may not give the warmth that a real hug could give, still, it's a great gift to give! - What you will need Cardboard paper Bond paper Paint Yarn Tape Print out of child's picture Crayons or other coloring materials - Step 1: Decorate the card by pasting or drawing.

Life of a Preschooler – Last Day of School Activity
by Cheryl Villareal on May 2nd, 2011
When the last day of school rolled in, my co-teachers and I tried to think of something fun the kids could do to commemorate their first year in preschool! I thought of so many wonderful ideas, only, they required a pre-activity which the child should have done at the beginning of the school year! :( Now what? I almost gave up and resorted to just letting the kids draw something about school, when on the very last minute, we decided to funk up th...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

The kids will surely love it more. - What you will need Fabric Glue/ All purpose glue or wood glue Foam shapes/ Sequins and other random stuff to glue unto the stocking Christmas Stocking or plain sock Glitter glue ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Family Picture Ornament
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 22nd, 2010
First of all, I'm really not sure what to call this! My partner and I saw an ornament via the internet where in they used a hanger and hung other stars below. We liked the idea but decided to try something else. So instead of a simple wrapped up hanger, we decided to make a frame using tinsel. *Note: This is a 2 to 3 day activity. Let the child do each part per day. It would be tiring to finish them all in just one day. - What you will n...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Little Paper Plate Angels
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 21st, 2010
Another great craft this holiday season would be to make Christmas angels! But why limit it to the holidays? You can do it all year round! It would even be a wonderful activity for the start of school! We wanted the toddlers to have their own personalized angels, but we wanted it to be different. So with the help of Adobe Photoshop, I made some funky looking faces for the kids by changing their hair color and making them look a little bit like...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

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 Share Comments (0 )
