Spring Flower Play Dough Mat Activity

Preschoolers love to explore with play dough!  Play dough is a great tool for preschoolers to strengthen fine motor muscles in their little hands while learning and playing.  Themed play dough centers are a big hit in my classroom because they allow the kids to work independently.

Being Kind in Preschool {kindness quilt & bird feeder}

Valentine’s Day was the perfect time of year to focus on being kind with my preschoolers!  We focused on how kindness mattered to others we love.  The kids could come up with lots of ways that their mommies were kind to them, but it was harder for them to think of ways that they could be kind to their mommies!  After a few days, lots

Mixing Colors: Making PINK!

Preschoolers love when 2 colors are mixed together and create a new color! We have mixed colors with cans of veggies, Christmas tree branches, medicine droppers, and our fingers so far this school year. Hands-down, rolling cans in a huge bin to make orange was my preschoolers favorite color mixing activity! They still talk about it 4 months later.     This month, the colors
