Rainbow Art
We are all connected!
Children hand prints demonstrate togetherness – do you think we are all that different?
Building a rainbow from each child’s hand print
Supplies
Demonstration
Here we go..
Each child takes their turn with the color on the arch…
After the Red and Orange we had to find an easier way to get 6 kids to be patient with taking turns
We decided each child should hand print all their colors and take turns with that technique…it worked
Miss Fareeda’s hand look so colorful after all that work..

Trying to outsmart a Toddler
He loves to open the door leading to garage- so we got a lock for it. It did not help that he thought of a way to attempt opening the lock. Yep the smarty pants pulled the paint bucket and jumped on…He kind I reminds me of a cat attempting to eat a meal.

Cindy Moo – Jumps over the Moon
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!
This book Cindy Moo is written by Loris Mortensen and Illustrated by Jeff Mack
Cindy is trying to jump over the moon but, skidded to a STOP!
Cindy is jumping over the moon – with the help of the rain which, created a little puddle and the reflection of the moon….she did it!
Each child had to retell the story, with that came creative dialogues about Cindy’s challenge and eventual adventure. One child said, “Cindy can fly like an owl!” Who knows what image a child conjures with the sight of a moon, pond and animals around:)
After our story and comprehension we practiced jumping over the moon – with the help of a baby Boppy.

Clothespin – Helps Fine Motor Development
Toddlers and preschoolers alike are often independent in nature wanting to accomplish many tasks with little or no help. In our daycare we allow children to explore, discover and learn about their environment in many ways.
Here we have a toddler learning how to pin the clothespin. You may ask why? The clothespin is helping her learn skills that will further enhance zipping, buttoning, and other activities for managing her body. It also teaches her to become gradually sufficient with drawing, painting and writing skills.
All stocked and ready to be moved around
Notice her finger placement
She is using both hands to help open the pin. With continued practice she will be able to do this with one hand.
She is already improving and using one hand
She is still learning mastery but notice she is holding more pins in her hand while placing a pin on the paper.
