Today we continued learing about colors. We read "Mouse Paint" then learned hands on how mixing red and yellow paint gave us orange.

Yesterday the children did a fun activity that helped them with fine motor skills and name/letter recognition. Take a piece of foam and write the child's name on it. Then take clothespins and write each letter of child's name on a different clothespin. They then have to match up the lettered clothespins with the matching letters in their name. They also have to work hard on using their index and thumb to pinch the clothespin open. I recommend this activity for upper 2 year old and on. Children any younger have a hard time pinching the clothespin. Have fun my kiddos really enjoy this!

Colors and B

I had almost deleted this blog and was going to keep up with
The Little Things in Life(this is my main daily blog), but decided to keep at it. I will probably only post one time a week, giving a break down on what we did for the week at daycare.

So for the few weeks we have learned about the letter A and apples. Last week we focused on the letter B. We made a letter B word wall. Everyday the kids would think of words that started with the letter B and we made a word wall going over the words everyday. The children went on a Bear Hunt. I have a great c.d. "Kids in Action" and the children love to do the Bear Hunt. We decorated our names with Beads and Read "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" .


This week we are learning about colors. We read "Little Blue and Little Yellow" yesterday. The kids learned that mixing blue and yellow make green.



Today we made a rainbow with all the different colors. It was an activity that focused on listening and learning the correct color placement.
