Valentines Day Coloring Page
This adorable Valentine’s Day coloring page will be a hit with preschoolers and can be used as part of a preschool Valentine’s Day preschool theme or as a fun activity to do at home with mom. We plan to use this page to decorate our homeschool classroom.
Make Your Own Recycled Paper
My kids love to recycle but until recently, they really had no idea what happened to our paper after they put it in the recycling bin. This simple activity is a fun and interactive way to teach kids how to recycle paper and can be a good use for the extra newspaper you have laying around from couponing.
Preschool Art – Paper Bag Pumpkin
Preschoolers will love making this paper bag pumpkin as a special Halloween craft activity. This Halloween art project makes a wonderful holiday decoration for preschoolers desks at school or at home as a centerpiece for a festive meal.
Toothbrush Painting
Toothbrush painting is a fun twist on traditional painting and is a great way to teach toddlers and preschoolers about the importance of dental health. This activity was one we did every year during my years as a home daycare provider during our dental health preschool theme but it makes a wonderful homeschool health lesson or fun art activity for kids.
Cookie Sheet Print Painting
Art can be created using materials found around the house. This open-ended art activity can be altered to fit the needs of kids of all ages and can be used to fit nearly any subject matter. Using an old cookie sheet, kids can create a simplified version of a printing press and come up with a creative work of art.
Gingerbread Playdough
Preschoolers will love this festive touch to traditional play dough. The wonderful gingerbread scent of this play dough adds an additional dimension to this sensory play activity and helps preschoolers to celebrate the holiday season.
Runaway Snowball – Preschool Science Activity
This is a great winter preschool science activity that uses a really cute poem. This poem is one that I used to use with my daycare children and it is such a fun way to teach about different states of matter. This activity requires very few materials but preschoolers love collecting a snowball and watching it melt. The next time you have a snowy day, take advantage of the snow to teach a basic preschool science lesson.
Tips for Carving and Keeping Pumpkins
Carving pumpkins is a Halloween tradition in many families. What’s more fun for little ones than getting to stick your hands inside a pumpkin and pull out its gooey sticky insides? It’s typically then the parent’s job to slice and dice the big orange ball into something that remotely resembles a spooky or goofy looking face. If you’re looking for the easiest way to carve and keep a great pumpkin try some of the recommendations below.
Preschool Literacy Art – Yarn Letters
Preschoolers love experimenting with different mediums. This preschool literacy activity requires very few supplies and really gets preschoolers excited about learning to write the letters of the alphabet.
Christmas Countdown Craft
Time is a strange concept for preschoolers. Their life is made up of 5 minute increments and tomorrow is a year away. This simple Christmas countdown craft for preschoolers is fun to make as a family and gives preschoolers a clear passage of time so those last few weeks before Santa comes aren’t quite so frustrating.
