Check out our pet goldfish!
This week we are learning about the letter R. The boys and girls painted red R’s at the easel and made rabbits. They used their fine motor skills to place ears, a nose, eyes, and a cotton tail on their rabbits!
Today the Toddlers finger painted pet snakes. The boys and girls loved feeling the cold and slimy paint run through their fingers. We made sure to wear our smocks so we did not get paint on our clothes!
The toddlers had a great time using their fine motor skills to squeeze the stamper bottles while decorating butterflies. The boys and girl took turns making rainbow butterfly wings. A heart shaped sucker was added at the end of the project for the little ones to enjoy at home!
This month we will be learning about the color pink. During group time, we have been reading the book, “Little Pink Book”, and searching around the room for objects that are pink. The children used their fine motor skills to paint pink flamingos during art center and hearts at the easel.
We used rice, a crop grown in Madagascar, to create our own abstract art!
For our first pet craft of the month we made calico cats out of shapes! The children used their fine motor skills to add circle eyes, triangle ears, rectangle whiskers, and a heart nose. During this activity we went over shape and color recognition!
Today we made winter snow globes in the Toddler room. The bottle was filled half way with water. Then we added baby oil. The children loved watching all of the little bubbles form.
Next, we added one drop of blue food coloring.
Then the boys and girls used their fine motor skills to pinch and drop snowflakes into the bottles.
To finish the project the children shook up the bottles and watched the winter wonderland.
We have been working on measurement this month during our math studies and in anticipation of some snow, the kids made their own measurement tool to use when it does!
