Two years ago I knit some washcloths and we still use them regularly. We also bleach them regularly and what used to be green is now a weird yellowish color. This doesn’t bother me at all because I know my washcloths are clean even though they look funny. However, Little Bear recently asked me about… Continue reading Winter Preschool Activity: Bleach Snowfall Craft

Winter Tot School Activities
Well, Smiley Man has officially stopped taking a morning nap. I do preschool in the morning and I have discovered pretty quickly that Smiley Man doesn’t sit quietly to the side and play happily while I am teaching preschool. I didn’t think he would, but I didn’t have a plan for him either. After a… Continue reading Winter Tot School Activities
Snowflake Pattern Blocks Templates
I recently made these snowflake pattern blocks templates as part of a new “school” system I am going to do with Smiley Man. Since Smiley Man is still pretty young (20 months), I don’t think he will be able to use these pattern blocks templates the “regular” way. However, he loves to play with pattern… Continue reading Snowflake Pattern Blocks Templates
Silent Night Christmas Vignette

She asked if we… Continue reading Silent Night Christmas Vignette

You can… Continue reading M&M Christmas Pictures Activity

Gingerbread Man Cut and Paste Preschool Activity
Cut and paste activities are really helpful for Little Bear right now. He needs lots of cutting practice and practice using a glue stick. Unfortunately, he doesn’t exactly love cut and paste activities. That means it is up to me to think of fun activities that he will enjoy cutting and pasting. A few days ago we… Continue reading Gingerbread Man Cut and Paste Preschool Activity
