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

Silly Foot and Hands Lobster
by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 1st, 2011
Summer reminds me of the beach and all the wonderful sea animals. Often, we do fish projects and crafts in school that we neglect all the other beautiful sea animals. So this time, why not try something new? Why not make a silly little lobster with those little hands and feet! I saw the idea from Moments of Mommyhood and I instantly knew I had to try it! - What you will need Red paint Paint brush White paper Eyes and mouth print o...Read More » Tags

Starfish Art with Rock Salt
by Cheryl Villareal on May 27th, 2011
I remember being so amazed with starfishes when I was younger. I used to think they were just star-shaped rocks! I was so curious how they moved and how they become "alive". It was only when I visited a beach during my teen years that I finally saw starfishes move and even piling up one over the other! They were really fun to watch and are something you can't miss during the summer season. - So for our theme on sand and sea, we decided to have ...Read More » Tags

Flower Pendants for Mom
by Cheryl Villareal on May 7th, 2011
They say jewelry is a woman's best friend. To a mom, jewelry is great but not necessary. However, handmade and personalized jewelry from the kids... now that's a lifetime treasure! Just moments ago, I shared a post on making THUMBPRINT HEART PENDANTS/NECKLACES. This is a perfect gift for mother's day or for any other occasion if you ask me! So, since we had so much fun making these, I decided to experiment a little. After our tutoria...Read More » Tags

Thumbprint Heart Pendants
by Cheryl Villareal on May 7th, 2011
Plaster of Paris has become my best friend! I just keep discovering things I can do with it! So since Mothers' Day is coming up, we decided to make some necklaces for mom! I'm sure there are a lot more easy ways to do this, but this was what we had, and I'm proud to say that it really worked out fine! Not only is this a unique activity for the kids, but it's something worth keeping forever! This makes me wish I had my own kid so he/she would make...Read More » Tags

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

Painting with Floor Scrubs!
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 27th, 2011
Let's do some spring cleaning shall we? But instead of using water and soap, why not paint instead? A couple months ago, I passed by a shop wherein all items were sold for just 20 php (around 50 cents). Now as a preschool teacher, I just couldn't resist the urge to take a peek and dig through these items in hopes of finding something I could use for school! One of the items I came across were floor scrubs. I often see these sold in the groceri...Read More » Tags

Flowery Suncatchers for Spring
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 10th, 2011
Spring is here! Hooray! Although we do not have spring in the Philippines, the idea is still there. I always imagine scenes in cartoons where the snow slowly melts and the flowers blossom. Oh and Bambi and his friends all fall in love. (heehee) During our unit on nature, we decide to make some lovely flower suncatcher! It was such a fun activity to make and the kids reaction as to how the paper was sticking was priceless! - What you will...Read More » Tags

Making Hand Puppets using Brown Paper Bags
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 16th, 2011
When young children see puppets, they usually react in 2 ways. One is that they'd be really thrilled and excited, and the other is that they'd be scared out of their wits and start crying at the top of their lungs. I usually prefer them giving me the first reaction, but kids will be kids. - When the year started, I only had around 1 or 2 kids out of who were afraid of puppets. At first, I was unsure if I should tell them that there's someon...Read More » Tags
