Learning Station - Cup Stomp

 In cleaning out my cupboards I found:  CUPS!  I wrote the letters and some sight words and names on the cups.  

Then I sent each kiddo out with an errand to find a particular cup and stomp it!  A bit of mayhem and lots of fun.

Clean up...

Great Outdoors and Mother's Day Gifts

Circle Time - Campfire - We "toasted" marshmallows today!!

Free Play - Tent - Oh what fun to have a tent to play in!  Also, we were working on finishing up our mother's day gifts today.  No peeking!

 

Snack - S'mores - We filled our cones with yummy chocolate, marshmallows and teddy grahams.  A few minutes in the oven and taadaa!  Yummy s'mores! 

Campsites - These turned out super cute!  If we had a smidge more time, we could have added even more ...

I saw this idea on this blog:  HERE!

Frog - This little amphibian turned out so very cute!  I found this idea on this blog:  HERE!

 

Mother's Day Gifts - This year I decided to do painted jars.  Several had been donated to the preschool, so it was perfect!  I helped the kiddos paint and print their hands on the outside of a jar, then we painted the inside of the jar by squirting paint in and shaking it around.  

 

I saw this idea on this blog:  HERE!

Doily Flowers - The kiddos watercolor painted doilys, then I taped them onto skewers.  Turned out pretty fabulous!

 

 

Card and Drawing - I interviewed each kiddo about their mom, then on the outside, they drew a picture of her.  I always love to see how the kiddos draw their moms!!

 

 

 

Toddler's Mother's Day Cards - After I printed the kiddo's hands on their jar, I printed them on a paper.  Then just whipped together these cute cards for the kiddos to color inside.

Learning Station - Glowing Abc Hunt

With the lights off, we were able to use our glowing eggs to find hidden letters.  I found these on super clearance!!

Park Day

What gorgeous weather we got for our park day!  Wahoo!

Off we go... 

 Seeds...

 

The Park ...

Dandelions - I showed a few of the kiddos how you can write with dandelions.  They quite enjoyed that.

 

Heading back ...

 

Rr Week

Ready for our Rowdy and possibly  

Rambunctious Rr Week?!!

Rr Clothing - Robots, rock and roll, red...

 

Circle Time - A couple of kiddos were excited to realize that "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" has A LOT of Rr's in it.  Ha!  So of course we had to sing it!

Free Play - Robin Hood - A kiddo discovered the Robin Hood hat in the dress up bin.  I briefly told him the story and he was super excited to try it out!!  He recruited a king and some Merry Men.  All he needed was money to rob...

 

Snack - Root Beer Floats - Oh yum!

Rings - As I have begun cleaning out my bins, I found I had several packages of rings.  Perfect for Rr week!!!

Ribbon Wrists - The kiddos helped me use up some of my copious ribbon supplies to make these lovely bracelets.  Once we got them done we danced to some fun music.

I just tied the ribbon on a large hair elastic.

 

I started running low on ribbons, so I pulled out some tulle for the next class.  I think I like the tulle better!

Rain? - We were hoping it would rain today .... 

Peep Rabbits - Another yummy Rr!

 
Tp Rockets - 

 

Launching Rockets - They were aiming for the red basket.

Layered Rainbows - Great cutting practice.  The kiddos cut each layer of their rainbow, then glued it together.
