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

Puzzled Christmas Wreath
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 18th, 2011
It’s always fun to come up with a variety of objects to glue unto our Christmas wreaths! Last year, we tried gluing mittens and bottle caps, this year, we tried using old puzzle pieces to make colorful wreaths! So I’m sure most of you have tried letting your kids put together a puzzle or two and after completing it, the puzzle pieces start getting lost one by one. So now you’re left with a box filled with incomplete puzzle pieces, what d...Read More » Tags

Eric Carle Collage in Brown Bear Brown Bear
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 27th, 2011
The kids have always loved BROWN BEAR, they love learning the different colors while also seeing the pictures of different animals! Moreover, they enjoy singing the song while looking at the pictures. This time, we wanted to try and make collages. So we had them pick which color they wanted and we mixed 2 other complimenting colors with it. So if they picked green, we’d give them GREEN, YELLOW and WHITE. If they picked PU...Read More » Tags

by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 20th, 2011
Eric Carle may not be famous in the world of fine arts, but his very famous in the world of preschool children and teachers!

Brown Bear, Hungry Caterpillar, The Tiny Seed, etc. Well, though he may not have his art up in the museums like MichelAngelo and Picasso, Eric Carle is one of the greatest artists for the kids.

Modern Day “Starry Night” Inspired by Van Gogh
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 3rd, 2011
For art month, we’re learning all about the famous artists and their unique painting styles. They will serve as inspirations for our art activities. Now when I say inspiration, it means that we WON’T copy exactly what the artist did but probably learn something from it. Yesterday, I posted about our Sistine Table painting which was inspired by Michelangelo. You can check that out HERE. Well today, it’s Van Gogh’s turn to shin...Read More » Tags

The “Sistine Table”- Painting Like Michelangelo
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 2nd, 2011
Who says preschoolers are too young to learn about fine arts? It’s always better to start young right? For the entire month, we have decided to teach our little kiddos about the famous artists and their unique artistic styles! To start off, we introduced them to the famous Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti or simply Michelangelo! First, we showed the kids his famous painting on the Sistine chapel. They did not completel...Read More » Tags

Sponge Stamping with Shades of Blue
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 2nd, 2011
Last year, we let the kids do some SPONGE PAINTING as a extension on our lesson about squares. The kids had so much fun playing with the sponges because of their unique texture but the teachers also had to be careful not to give the kids too much paint because they tended to let the sponge absorb too much and squeeze out ALL the paint. As fun as this may be, we weren't prepared for a messy activity that day. So instead of just lettin...Read More » Tags
