Our PreSchool Blog

The toddlers utilized the farm theme to reinforce shape, color, counting, fine motor, and vocabulary skills.  We sang Old McDonald and read The Big Red Barn.  Our learning environment this month includes farm puzzles, toys, animals, and even a farmer’s market for pretend play.

A square scarecrow was our weekly craft.

We practiced using glue sticks for this craft!

Tractor painting while discussing different colors created a fun sensory experience!

Pigs covered in mud was another fun sensory experience.  We watched a video of real pigs rolling in the mud.

Pin the tail on the piggy!

Milk the cow!

Roll the die to see how many wool rolls to put on the sheep.

The month of November is all about the farm! We have different centers that reflect our farm theme, such as the Farmer’s Market center, to the art center where they stuck cotton balls on a sheep! Below you can see some of our November centers and activities.
