The preschoolers practiced their crayon grip on sand paper. This is a great way to strengthen fine motor muscles. Practicing in as many ways possible is great for developing muscles. We colored fall leaves and felt the vibrations of the crayon on the sandpaper. This is a fun coloring activity to try at home!
We started our unit this week about Farm Harvests! After reading the book, The Little Red Hen by Jerry Pinky, we watched as a real farmer harvested his fields of wheat and transported them to the silo in a gravity wagon. The big machines were fun to watch! We hit the kitchen and made our own homemade bread and we made sure to all help so that we could all enjoy the delicious snack when it came out of the oven!
