I hate art projects because they are so messy. What do I do?!? What is a preschool craft idea I can do with my child? Well, it finally happened. Two days ago I lost my temper. It was the first time in my whole entire life that I have ever lost my temper. I have… Continue reading Choose Your Own Art Supplies: Preschool Craft Idea

Ball Themed Tot School Trays
This is our fourth set of Montessori inspired tot trays. Smiley Man (21 months) does tot school while I am doing homeschool preschool with Little Bear. So far, Smiley really loves these trays and I love it because they are getting my toddler ready for school. Hopefully you can find a few tray ideas and… Continue reading Ball Themed Tot School Trays
Valentine Themed Tot School Trays
Smiley Man is loving these tot trays so much! He really likes that he does his own school work. I really like that he is engaged while Little Bear is doing his preschool stuff. My biggest problem is explaining to Smiley Man that he can only do his trays during school time. :) Even Little… Continue reading Valentine Themed Tot School Trays
How to Start Tot School
What is tot school and/or tot trays and where do I start? Last week I posted about my very first time doing tot school for Smiley Man! I’ve had a few people ask some questions, so I wanted to give you some great websites that explain the basics of tot school and that give you lots of… Continue reading How to Start Tot School
Baby Preschool Pack – The Perfect Gift for Families Expecting a Baby
Where can I find a baby themed preschool pack? My sister just had a brand new baby which is always a very exciting thing! She also has a boy and girl (twins) the same age as Little Bear and they already love their new baby sister. I remember when I was in the hospital after… Continue reading Baby Preschool Pack – The Perfect Gift for Families Expecting a Baby
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
M&M Christmas Pictures Activity
I made this cute M&M Christmas pictures activity for Little Bear because he really loves do-a-dot pages, but I wanted to do something extra special for Christmas. Instead of dot markers, these Christmas pictures use red and green M&Ms to fill the circles. I printed the M&M Christmas pictures off in color and laminated them. You can… Continue reading M&M Christmas Pictures Activity
Christmas Lights Preschool Activities
I just love Christmas! Sometimes I’m just a tad overexcited about it. So, naturally, it’s my job as a mother to make my children a tab bit MORE overexcited about Christmas. After all, that is what mother’s do. :) A little while ago I found a free font called Xmas Lights BRK. I downloaded it… Continue reading Christmas Lights Preschool Activities
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
