Let it snow! This week I’m sharing weather themed fun and this crayon resist snowflake idea is perfect for those hoping for a little snow.

SUPPLIES:
-White Cardstock Paper
-White Crayons
-Watercolor Paints (this time we used liquid watercolors by Color Splash and the colors were AMAZING)

HOW TO
•Use your white crayon and draw snowflakes all over your paper.
•Paint over your paper with watercolors in shades of blue and purple.
•Magic!

I wasn’t going to share this activity because it is nothing new BUT it is one of those activities that you keep in your back pocket. Why? It’s simple to set up, works for any theme, and always is magic. Seriously, my girls have done this activity so many times, but always enjoy it!

Have you done a white crayon and watercolor craft lately? What did you create?

Need an easy prep activity so you can sip your coffee…

Magnetic Tile Turkey is it!

Sketch a turkey body on a large sheet of art roll paper. Set out that tub of magnetic tiles and watch the magic. 🩷

My girls loved this activity when they were young and it was so fun to watch them make a variety of pattern turkey feathers. They would make a design, share it, clear it, and create again.

Simple activities are the best! Give this one a try.

Roll out the art roll paper and set up this activity for your kids today! Beginning sounds gratitude is a fun way to get your kids drawing, practicing beginning sounds, and sharing all about a variety of things they are thankful for.

Draw a few frames on a sheet of paper or even better, make it large and roll out that art roll paper. Set out some magnetic letters and have your kids pick a letter then think of something that starts with that sound to be grateful for. When they share something ask them “why” might someone be grateful for that.

This is a fun way to slow down, sip your coffee, and chat with your kids. Let me know how it goes.

Practice letter recognition and matching with this low prep preschool turkey idea!

Your kids will love making this for sticker turkey. Sketch a turkey (or print one) on a sheet of paper. Label the turkey with feathers - I did lowercase. Grab your favorite dog stickers and write the same letters on them - I did uppercase so littles can practice matching. Now you are all prepped!

When you need an activity this week pull out this one and invite your child to match the dot stickers to the letters on the turkey.

Have fun and be sure to like, save, and share! 🙌🏻😘

🚀 Blast off into space with this amazing dried black bean base sensory bin!

Whenever I’m creating a sensory bin I always start with a base: dried beans, dyed rice, kinetic sand, tiny pebbles, cereal, water….

Then it’s time to add some loose parts! This can be anything from mini erasers, pompoms, tiny themed toys, plastic gems, magnetic letters or numbers, little cars, wooden people, etc.

After that, add in some tools! Think tongs, scoops, tweezers, bowls, funnels, etc.

Now your sensory bin is complete and you’re ready to explore and play!

Tip: Place your sensory bin on a towel or mat to create a visual boundary for play. This also makes clean up easier.

Any questions about sensory bins or this space one shared in the picture? Let me know!

Make this magical SPACE themed art project with just crayons and black watercolor paint! 🪐

If you’re planning a space themed week this simple activity is one to add to your must do list. After reading and talking all about the planets have your child use crayons to draw a space picture - Crayola works best. When they are done give them black watercolor paint and have them paint over their picture. Let it dry and hang to enjoy!

This simple art idea is perfect for kiddos of multiple ages and always looks awesome once dry. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
