Preview of our Valentines!

Today we took many pictures of the toddlers in their Valentine Day Gear. Most of them liked it, some of them hated it. Here's just a preview of what we took. I'll have these up in the next week or two on our door for the month of February.


Some fun art we did this week!

Dollar Store Sensory Project.

OK, So I'm one of those people that can't just stop working. I'm always looking up fun and creative things to do with my class of toddlers.


The good news you can get it all at the Dollar Store. Which is my favorite store to get supplies. You'll need foam paper found in the school isle, A paint brush dipped in a glass of water. Then next just cut fun shapes from the paper any designs you want. Paint the window with your paint brushed dipped in water. The toddlers are good at that! Then let them paste their cutouts to the windows.

Sounds fun right! We will get to try this next week. February, we will learn about the color "Red".

Pajama Party and Glow fun!

The Baby Bears looked so cute in their pajamas's on Friday! I wanted to get a picture of every child in their jammies but my camera ended up dying. They really enjoyed reading their books on the sleeping bag that I brought in. Who knew it would be a such big hit!


The glow sticks that I brought in, they loved. They moved them around so fast it was hard to get good pictures. Next time I think we'll try putting them in pop bottles like I've seen on Pinterest.

Clean and Messy Art!!!



I love the penguin feet we created last week. I think they turned out so darn cute! :)

Since the Baby Bears have been pretty good at not eating our paints while painting this month. We decided it was a good time to finger paint with shaving cream. We debated about taking their pants off, but it was a good thing we did. As you can see they painted everywhere!


My favorite art we do is marble painting in a pan. The toddlers practice rolling it back and fourth. It's really messy! I'll post the finished product tomorrow, it was a little too wet today to hang up!




Mason and Matthew had some fun dropping toys into the the box that Miss Joyce let us have. Thanks!
