St. Patrick’s Day celebrations start out with a sensory bin of water beads, gold coins, and scoops.
We created leprechaun beards by painting with a fork.
We heard the leprechaun was running around Creative Tots. The toddler class traveled to the studio to look for him and found gold coins! We practiced finding and counting treasure.
We continued with our study of green by creating a “green tent” for our color book.
Moving into spring with a sensory bin filled with eggs, butterflies, bunnies, and flowers. Some children practiced scooping while others sorted by color or type. The older children began to make patterns (a pre-literacy and math skill).
Matching Eggs…
Matching jelly beans. Practice with one to one correspondence and color matching. Also, an exercise in patience. We had to match them all before we got to eat one as a treat.
Some fine motor skills are practiced when creating washi tape eggs.
Chalk eggs for our new easel.
Gross motor practice….Feed the bunny.
Painting feet for footprint bunnies.
