Rarity trying out the painting brush.  I think finger and hand paining is more her style though right now. 

 Both kiddos loved making dots with these bingo marking paints.  Found these at the the dollar tree. 

This what I had Rarity doing while Fluttershy was working on her worksheets.

Princess Festival

Our girls loved going to the princess festival this weekend.  They got to talk to real princesses and elves.  Don't they look so pretty with their face painted?  I was surprised that Rarity would sit still, but she did. 

The festival was basically a interactive play.  After the play they were given a gift.  It was a ornament they got to decorate.  Then we got their faces painted.  We had a lot of fun with the girl.  They loved getting dressed up so pretty.

Homemade Christmas tree ornaments

This is a super simple recipe:

Go to Living life intentionally for the recipe.  Her's are really fancy.  I think we'll try them again in a few days and try them her way. 

I found her recipe while I was looking for a baking play dough recipe.  I wanted to make hand prints of my girls.

 

We baked these for 4 hours on 225.

A shopping we will go

Our Preschool Palace Lesson  today was fun with a grocery theme.  

Some of the things we did:

Field trip: Grocery store. 

A grocery store can teach young people how to work within a budget and learning to buy what is on the list. You can help young students understand how to make wise food choices in a grocery store. Before the visit, review types of food items with the children and categorize them into either healthful or unhealthful choices. When you take your trip to the store, give the children a list of foods and have them choose a healthful example.  Option: At the end of the trip, allow each child to choose a healthful snack to buy. 

Activity: 100 card. While many preschoolers cannot count to 100, it is a skill required by the end of Kindergarten. This activity is just an introduction to higher numbers, illustrations of sets of 10’s (counting by 10’s also required in Kindergarten). This activity also reinforces fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, color brown, square shape, 1 to 1 correspondence, and provides a tasty snack after completion!
Use Chex cereal as the counter pieces to fill in each square on the 100 chart. (found on the November month curriculum.)

Christams Countdown Chain

December is the best month of the year.  Candy making, decorating, crafts, family, and presents. To start off the month and help the girls get excited for Christmas we made these countdown chains. 

To create a Christmas Countdown Chain:

What you need:  Red and green construction paper - cut into 1”x8” strips to make 12 and 13 strips of each color (totalling 25 strips), glue, a marker, scissors
What to do:  Write the numbers 1-25 on the strips, alternating colors between numbers
Link the colors together to form a chain using the glue.
Tear off a link each day (starting with the highest number).
Each day, count the links that are left.
