We just finished our STEAM Cloud Study from Experience Preschool and, I had to share it with yall!

I write a lot about Process Art also known as Invitations to Create. There are so many benefits to process art, but one of my favorites is that the child is truly creating something of their own that is unlike any other.

Before you read all this, let me preface it: I am not a native Spanish speaker. I live in Texas and wish I was bilingual. I took 4 years of Spanish over 20 years ago. Ugh, that makes me feel old. I can't roll my r's. I am just a momma trying her best to teach my littles the beauty of language and other cultures. A few months ago, when my girl was still 5, she told me, "Mom, I want to learn...

STEAM: Color Mixing Learning with Tie-Dye

leslie September 23, 2020 0 Comments
About a month ago our Children's Ministry hosted a tie-dye party for kids from Kindergarten- 6th grade. It was my first tie-dying experience. I loved watching them create, but I learned a thing or two watching them. 1. Limit the color choices. There were quite a few muddy brown looking shirts because kids got too happy with using ALL the colors. 2. Use the rubber bands and only place dye in a...

What a gift of God SIGHT is! Have you ever wondered how it is that our brains actually process light rays to be able to see color?! It's fascinating and the more I see the intricacies in how things work, the more I see an amazing Creator God at the helm of all things. Exploring the 5 senses with children is always fun (check out this post) and even more so when you can get outdoors! We've been...

STEAM: Skeletal Study

I have 2 little learners... a recently turned 6 year old and a 2.5 year old. I have always been terrified of studying human anatomy. Probably because I can't remember ever really studying it before the dreaded 5th grade health class. Yall know what I'm talkin' about. So, finding fun ways to teach about the human body to my little ones is something that is new for me too, but it has been so...

STEAM: Brain Study with Little Learners

Have you ever sat back and just wondered at the marval of the human body? When I look at my kids and I think about how much they have grown from the moment I felt their first kick to today, I can only see how amazing our Creator God is. Psalm 139: 13-16 are so true. Our body is made in His image (Genesis 1:26-27) and being able to study it, allows us to see Him as well. I am praying that as we...

"I are a superhero!' my two-year old son hollers after completing any helpful task. It is one of my most favorite things he says. I know this saying has everything to do with the fact that we have been studying superheroes with our Experience Early Learning box.
