Our little guy was excited to do a Valentine’s Day activity!  Half way through, he decided that he wanted to mix the colors together, creating his own color. We reviewed the names of the different colors while he was creating as well.

This was little guy’s first time with lacing using a child-safe threading needle. When introduced to the concept, he was very intrigued and was excited to try himself.
 Materials:
1) Place all of the cutting materials into the tray. 2) Place the tray in an appropriate area for cutting (it may get messy!) 3) Encourage the child to practice cutting the different items. Early Childhood Education Courses Online Prepare for the activity by cutting the straws into inch long pieces. You will want around 50 pieces or so. Put all of the pieces into the large bin. Place the pipe cleaners in the bin as well.
1. Invite the child to thread the straw pieces with you. If this is the first time the child has been exposed to the concept, show them how the straw piece goes onto the pipe cleaner.  2. Talk with the child during the entire activity, asking questions and introducing new vocabulary words.  Threading is a perfect activity for practicing fine motor skills and and hand-eye coordination! You could also use this opportunity to encourage sequencing and color recognition.
She found the different textures intriguing, from the hard plastic to the fluffy pom poms. She also was happy to see our faces down on the ground with her. 
Please provide appropriate supervision to the children in your care when completing all activities. You will need to decide what types of activities are safe for the children in your care. Appropriate and reasonable caution should be used when providing art and sensory experiences for children. Infants and toddlers require special caution, only use non-toxic materials, and do not allow children to put things in their mouths that are a choking hazard. During circle time the children were excited about our trip to the pumpkin patch and carving their pumpkins with their family. We decided to extend their curiosity and excitement by making a pumpkin picture. Children love to recreate what they see in real-life. Our snack arrived and it included marshmallows and pretzels. An idea was born when Sally put her pretzel into the marshmallow and we decided it would make a great pumpkin stamp.  We set aside some of the pretzels and marshmallows and let the children put their stamps together themselves. It is a good idea to have some extra marshmallows and pretzels on hand for children to nibble on, so they don’t eat the ones they are using for their art project.
 Use caution with young child as they may try to eat the marshmallow and pretzel with the paint on it.
