Giant Squids and Jellyfishes
by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 23rd, 2011
When working with little kids, you always want to go BIG! Not only is it easier for them because their fine motor skills aren't developed yet, but they are also very much amazed by it! At times, they couldn't even believe they're the one who made it! I always love that kind of reaction from the kids! - We intentionally wanted to make squids, but it's hard to limit the kids and tell them to just place 8 tentacles, so we just let them be and ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Starfish Art with Rock Salt
by Cheryl Villareal on May 27th, 2011

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 Share Comments (0 )

Watercolor Jellyfish Painting
by Cheryl Villareal on May 15th, 2011
Our theme for the week was sand and sea! I saw several wonderful ideas that I wanted to try, and this was one of it! When I first saw this through TeachPreschool.org, I wondered if the little ones would be able to do it. It looked fairly easy, but then again... maybe not. Still, I decided to give it a go. Regardless of how it turns out, the important thing is that they tried and they had fun! What made this activity great is the unique way of ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
