This is great practice for children to strengthen their hands and develop fine motor control.
When a child observes nature they will see much more than we see. Every lizard, every bug, they will want to smell all the flowers and feel all the textures because it is still new to them.
Never throw away your card board boxes, they are the perfect canvasses for your little ones.
Building sugar castles are a great way to encourage concentration, fine motor, and perseverance skills.
Every time I work with clay it seems to have a calming effect on me, which is also so true for young children.
For this lesson I decided to combine two concepts, color mixing and reflection. We started off by talking about the primary colors red, yellow and blue as our magic colors that can transform to create all colors of the rainbow when mixed right.
This lesson I wanted to focus on fine motor skills and task resilience.
We not only had fun making spiders but also got our hands on a wide range of materials.
Our sunny days lately have made for some beautiful mornings in the Glenn.
That‘s why we kicked off this school year with nature banners!
Dramatic play can be defined as a type of play where children accept and assign roles, and then act them out. It is a time when they break through the walls of reality, pretend to be someone or something different from themselves, and dramatize situations and actions to go along with the roles they have chosen to play.
What’s your favorite part of the playground?
Can you draw it for me?
Now let’s build our own !
