Fun with shapes.

It was all about shapes today at preschool.

For art I traced 3 shapes onto white construction paper. 

 Carefully using an xacto knife and small 

scissors I cut the shapes out. To make our

project a bit more interesting and fun for kids I 

put a piece of double sided tape on 

the corners of the white paper and stuck it

on top of  a piece of black construction

paper. I had found some Sargent art brand of 

 florescent  tempera paint at Walmart.

It was a great price and a great quality

of paint. The kids had fun with the bight colors. 

I encouraged them to paint the entire piece of paper. 

Some of the kids carefully painted the shapes, then painted 

around the shapes. Other kids just busily painted the entire 

paper watching  the colors blend into each other. 

They were so excited when  I lifted the white paper and 

they saw the black paper with bright shapes.

Supplies needed

white construction paper

black construction paper

shape templates to trace

tempera paint

paint pots & brushes

Food kids

This week in preschool is all about food. We had a 

great time gluing food pictures onto pre-cut kids 

and making a healthy snack. My preschoolers are 

young, and not ready to cut pictures out

 so I cut out lots of food pictures for them. They

enjoyed  gluing their favorite food pictures

onto the kid cutouts. We talked  about healthy foods

and foods that are not so healthy as

 they glued their pictures.

 For their healthy snack I topped an apple ring with 

peanut butter  and let them chose toppings to 

sprinkle on. There was granola, yogurt raisins,

 chocolate chips, cranraisins and nuts to chose from.

Kids eat so much better when they 

get to help make their food.
