Clay Art in Preschool: Other Ways to Play with Clay
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 15th, 2012
Clay… Playdough… noodles….these are just some of the many “toys” kids like to play with that really tap several skills all at once! With clay they get to practice their fine motor skills, their imagination, their creativity and so much more! Last summer, another activity Ayala Museum did was Clay Art by Jose Joya. It’s really simple and easy to do! This post isn’t really like my usual tutorials, this really is just some...Read More » Tags

Puncher Pointillism at Ayala Museum
by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 22nd, 2012
From April to May, the Ayala Museum held a bunch of art workshops for the kids. One of these focused on George Seurat’s famous pointillism art! I love how complex and simple this activity can be! So before the actual art activity, a brief intro about George Seurat and pointillism was given. From wikipedia: Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an im...Read More » Tags

Your child’s first day in school is a milestone for your family. It’s the beginning of a new adventure for your curious preschooler.

Giant Earth for Earth Day
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 7th, 2012
I think earth day is a very important day which gives special attention to mother nature and the beautiful planet we live in. We take our world for granted and abuse it, assuming that somehow, everything will just get better on it's own... thing is, it isn't. And if there's one place to start.. it's with the kids. So for our extended activity, we decided to have the kids make a gigantic earth! If you've read my previous post, you'd also know h...Read More » Tags

Art Workshop in Manila for Summer 2012
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 20th, 2012
One thing I love about being a preschool teacher besides working with my adorable students is the wonderful experiments we get to do day in and day out! Part of these experiments of course is ART! We have different themes per month and the famous artists and their art works was one of our themes this school year. It’s funny how we don’t seem to appreciate the art works of these famous artists and yet kids can find so much joy in ...Read More » Tags

Rainbows in my Tummy! Yummy Rainbow Pancakes!
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 14th, 2012
When cooking, one of the things chefs/cooks need to give importance to is the ay the food will be presented. I am always amazed at how they're able to design and create food in the most unique and mouth-watering ways! Well, I'm no chef... but I AM a preschool teacher! We preschool teachers might not be able to prepare food in a classy and sophisticated way, but we can get as artistic as we can!... and in my case a little messy! haha ...Read More » Tags

Floating Book Fair and more with Logos Hope
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 13th, 2012
When I first heard of a floating book fair 2 years ago, I was already ecstatic! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go visit Logos Hope because I was too busy doing my thesis back then. So imagine my joy and excitement when I found out they were back! I visited LOGOS HOPE twice.. once on Friday (March 9) with my co-teachers and again on Saturday with my brother and friends. I had lots of fun browsing though all the books wh...Read More » Tags

Mind Blown at the Country’s First World Class Science Museum: The Mind Museum
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 1st, 2012
Some time last year, I started seeing posters and banners about a new Science Museum rising in Taguig. Being a teacher, the news of a new fieldtrip site was naturally very exciting… but learning that it would rise at the Fort Bonifacio Taguig boiled up various expectations for me. I started imagining just how cool this place might be and wondered what they would have to offer that other museums didn’t have. I eagerly waited for more news an...Read More » Tags

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

Paper Bag Owl Craft
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 24th, 2012
Whenever learning about the different animals, I always find myself at a crossroads as to what activity to do. There are so many animal crafts all over the internet and art books. All seem to be so wonderful that we always have a hard time deciding which one to go with. For our lesson on animals that fly/ birds, we decided to make an owl craft. My partner and I came up with 2 different ideas and we decided to merge them together. Thi...Read More » Tags
