Migration Inspired Art

Our Safari Adventure theme box from Experience Early Learning has us learning all about the animals of the Africa and their habits, including Migration. Migration is not a new topic for us. We listen to a lot of audiobooks around here and one of our ultimate favorites is The Wild Robot. In this story, there is a goose who has to migrate when the weather changes, so when I asked why animals might...

Creating Art with Little Kids

If you have been on my blog long, you know how much I love to create art with my children. Creating art is different than creating a craft. Creating crafts is following directions to get an end result that is much the same as the person making it next to you. There is not much use of the imagination in creating the craft, but there is use of the imagination in what you DO with the craft. This is...

Ice Activities

This week we were on an Outdoor sensory experience with our Cozy Winter Senses theme box from Experience Preschool. One of our days was all about Ice- something that still resonates in my children's minds from our Snowmageddon back in February earlier this year. That was a really scary ice experience, so it was really nice to spend a day studying ice, playing with it and making new memories...

Creating Cookies without the Kitchen

Each month we focus on a new theme with our Experience Preschool box, and this month is all about Cozy Winter senses... the the ones you smell, see, and taste straight out of the kitchen. You know what I am talking about.... COOKIES. There is nothing like the smells that waft from the kitchen during all the holiday baking this time of year. One of my favorite smells is cookies baking in the...

Taxi Weaving

We are completing our On the Go box from Experience Early Learning this week as we study Public Transportation. On this particular day, we studied taxis- something we hardly ever see.

Lessons From Anansi

It's our last week with out Fables & Folktales box from Experience Early Learning, and I am really sad about it! We had so much fun learning through stories from Aesop, like The Crow and the Pitcher and The Ants and the Grasshopper, and ventured with Paul Bunyan as we learned about American Tall Tales. This week we have been exploring international folktales, and some of my kids most...

Paul Bunyan Activities for Little Learners

This month is all about Folktales & Fables with our learning box from Experience Early Learning. We spent the last 2 weeks playing and learning life lessons from some of Aesop's most famous fables like The Crow and the Pitcher and The Ant and the Grasshopper. This week we moved into one of the biggest Tall Tales of America- Paul Bunyan! amzn_assoc_placement =...

Preschool Narration and Other Fun Activities

We have dove into our Water Adventure week from Experience Early Learning, and on a rainy day here in East Texas, we enjoyed some water themed activities even when we were cooped up indoors. Our day started with us looking at the theme poster and me asking "What can you see in the water?" The kids were quick to respond with Koi fish. We stand and observe them often when we go to the zoo. I asked...

Seed Mosaic

Have you ever created a mosaic? A mosaic is a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small colored pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile, glass... or even SEEDS. As a former art teacher, mosaics are pretty simple to do, require just a few materials and always end up a success in my opinion. As an Experience Early Learning (EEL) Blogger, I receive the EEL Preschool Curriculum...
