Father's Day

I saw this cute super hero craft on

pinterest. I knew as soon as I saw it, it would

be perfect for the front of our fathers day cards

we would be making in preschool this week. 

The kids used dot painters to paint the large

craft sticks. Dot painters can be found at amazon.com.
They are a great way to paint without a lot of mess.The
kids had such fun choosing what colors to use for their super dad.
We had so many colorful super hero's! The capes were
 glued onto the back of the craft stick. We then glued him down
onto the front of the card, added a mask and googly eyes. I had
made copies of  "Dad you're my super hero!" to add to the front
of the card. For the inside of the card we did a father's day

questionnaire. I love to ask the questions and hear the
 kids fill in the blanks. Their answers are so cute.
We had dad's who were 100 feet tall, and who
were very good at watching baseball.
You can google search "fathers day questionnaire" to
find one to print.  I reduced the size of my
 questionnaire to 80% and cut down 12x18" pieces
of construction paper to fit the questionnaire.
What fun the kids had making
crafts for dad!
Supplies needed

Painting with blocks

Today our preschool lesson was  Joshua and  the

 battle of Jericho.The kids  picked blocks from the 

block center to add to a plate of paint for building

the wall around Jericho. It was fun to see the how

each block would look on their paper. They 

enjoyed the activity so much that we had lots of 

pictures of Jericho's wall! Kids and paint go together! 

I had also google searched a coloring page 

of Joshua, printed it and cut it out to 

add to their art work. Once they were done

painting their walls I had them use dot 

painters to paint Joshua. They glued him onto 

the picture once it had dried. Dot painters are

a great addition to your art center. You can find 

them on Amazon as well as at Micheals. They
are fun for all ages and not very messy!
