11-5-00Our kids love to paint with household items. We've used scrubby sponges, toothbrushes, wire whisks, hair brushes, etc. I bet you can think of more. The children also enjoy tracing kitchen items.
11-5-00Room collages. I teach four and five year olds and they enjoy cutting from magazines. I give each child (or you could use teams of two or three children) a room assignment and they hunt through magazines to find objects that belong in that room. We can put the final results together to make an entire home!
9-17-00We are trying something new this year in our center. We are doing at home projects the first one we did was sending home a HOUSE we wrote a letter to parents explaining what we were doing and asked them to decorate "their house" like their real one, they had to do it with their child. It was a great success our parent loved the idea and the children loved having "homework". We cut out house shapes on tag board and told parents to decorate them with pictures, paint, buttons, etc. Good luck!
9-17-00This is especially for younger children. (I teach 2 1/2 to 3 yrs old). First I read the story of The Three Pigs. Afterwards, I give each child a sheet of paper with 3 house shapes on it. I then provide red paper, cut into "bricks", pieces of raffia or hay (straw), and twigs (sticks). The children then decorate each of the Three Pigs houses.
