Mouse Paint is a classic preschool colors book. My kids love reading (and rereading) this book, but color mixing is still a mystery to them. That prompted me to do this simple color mixing activity to help them understand it more! (This post contains affiliate links) Supplies Ziplock bags Paint in primary colors A small…
We love tractors. Tractor toys, activities, books, we love it all. Grandpa is a heavy machine operator (a.k.a. tractor driver) and his love for tractors had been passed on to my boys. Our Construction Zone Sensory Bin and Tractor Buffet have been big hits. Today we put a simple spin on those and just used…
My boys love bread and butter. I usually offer it with some fruit, this time we just made the bread a little extra special! Both my boys had a great time with this snack and learning activity! It’s actually something we have done before (see “Letterpress Toast“), but I’m bringing it back for this week’s…
I have to admit, I am not great with sticking to preschool or tot school themes. If I see my boys are interested in something, I do activities based on it (which is why we have so many tractor activities!) or if they want to read the same library book over and over, an activity…
Summer is not quite over, which means we get to enjoy strawberries just a little bit longer! Everyone in our family loves strawberries, my boys will eat them by the basketful! And in true Clarissa form, when my boys are interested in something (even food!) I ask myself how I can build on that interest…
If you’ve been around the blog very long, then you know I have a pension for activities based on books! I recently wrote a guest post for Happily Ever Mom featuring a book sorting activity on Little Blue Truck (Do you know the book? It is a well loved classic!) However, my boys weren’t quite…
Are you on Instagram? It’s my new favorite social media place to hang out and be inspired by (don’t be jealous, Pinterest, I still love you… but IG is so much more social and personal!) Something I love about Instagram is that there are just so many resources that you can use. From being able…
I love sitting in the afternoons and planning home preschool activities. This week I have been pinning tons of apple activities, many which were inspired by the book 10 Apples up on Top (this paint stick activity from Mom Inspired Life is one of my favorites!) And since there is a special place in my…
I love painting projects! I think there’s a lot of lessons (indirect and direct) we can teach students through art. Our Painting with Tools and Sandal Art were used to support flexible thinking skills, Friendship Art was a great way to talk about and practice being a good friend to others, and we have many…
ATTENTION- THESE PRINTABLES ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE! Yesterday the Early Childhood Education Team and I put out posts on how to teach the alphabet to preschoolers. One supply that I really like to use for alphabet instruction are these outlined alphabet letters.These are great to include in busy boxes as well! (Check out our guide…
