This weeks preschool theme-My body

This week we are doing a theme about our bodies. I printed out a body puzzle from Kidssoup. We are also building a train picture and putting Cole's picture in it. I think for the more Montessori side of it we will try doing a lot of sensorial activites. One thing I have planned is doing kool-aid playdough because apparently the kids can smell it. I am also hoping to get some dressing frames done. Cole has been very interested in dressing himself lately (finally) so this will be timely. I also have a handprint kit that we will do and maybe for an outside activity we will trace our bodies and decorate them in chalk. I'm still researching some more activites to go along with the theme. Pictures to come!

A cool garage sale find

I found this little German preschool activity at a tag sale for a few cents. I have no idea how its suppose to be played because the instructions are in German. There are four larger cards each with four pictures and then individual cards that match the picture. There is a card for activities that take one hand, two hands, one foot and two feet. Anyone want to guess how you play? Cole just likes to place the cards in the right spot. I just like the adorable pictures on the cards.

Finally!

We have been reading The Wizard of Oz together for what seems like forever. I'd been planning all the activities we would do when we finished. I had the movie from netflix for weeks and so it was so nice to finish the book and do all the things we had planned. We made tornadoes and hung them from the ceiling, we made amazingly yummy rainbow cupcakes and we all enjoyed the movie.

Our next read-a-long will be one of the Little House books.
