Painting with Scissors like Henry Matisse
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 14th, 2011
It's fun to do art with kids, but when you talk about art with them... crayons and paint are usually the first things that come to mind. Nothing wrong with that, but there's still so much more ways to do art then just the usual. Which is why I'm glad I came across Henry Matisse! Henry Matisse was a well known artist, he was good in both painting and sculpting! But as he reached the age of 72, it became difficult for him to stand and ...Read More » Tags

Lacing Red Apples
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 12th, 2011
Lacing is a very difficult task to do, especially for the little ones. No matter how many times you explain it to them, they still have difficulty understanding the concept. But that's okay, because at their age, it's their EAGERNESS TO LEARN that'll get them far! At first, the kids feel frustrated with lacing activities. Because they can't understand it, they refuse to continue doing it. But eventually, they get the small idea that all you ne...Read More » Tags

The activity turned out REALLY REALLY messy, but REALLY REALLY fun! Did I mention I ABSOLUTELY LOVE messy arts?? I feel these kinds of art activities are the ones that really giv...Read More » Tags

Tooth Brushing a Hard Boiled Egg
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 25th, 2011
This month, it's all about hygiene for my little toddlers. For days I've been trying to come up with an activity related to brushing our teeth! I found several coloring pages or arts and crafts wherein the child would make a paper toothbrush, but I wasn't satisfied. I wanted the kids to really do something that practices their brushing and makes them more aware of why they need to brush. - Just when I was about to give up, I came across somethi...Read More » Tags

Eggshell Art
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 22nd, 2011
It's always fun to play with eggs! It's one of the first things we learn to cook, we can paint it especially during Easter, we can turn them into Humpty Dumpty and more! Besides the egg itself, we could also make use of the egg carton to make a variety of arts and crafts! In this case, we made use of just the eggshells! We were learning about the color white, and eggshells came to mind. - We didn't want to cook eggs just to take the eggshel...Read More » Tags

For older kids, yo...Read More » Tags

Family Tree in Preschool
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 7th, 2011
When learning about our families, the family tree is one lesson or activity that we just couldn't miss out on. A family tree making activity can be done for all ages, from preschool to high school. It is one activity that would simply differ in the process it is made. So for my toddler class, what's the best way for the kids to make it? - My partner and I were discussing how we were to let the children make their family trees. Should we ask...Read More » Tags
