Boats for Lunch, Milk Paint, and Cloud Dough – Preschool and Kindergarten Community

How has your week been going? In our parts, the county fair is in full swing, and the highlight of our kids day was getting to hold an alligator. They all were a wee bit giddy about that one. Mind you – it was fairly small, but still – it was an alligator, so that counts for something right?

{And don’t think that I didn’t edit our summer fun list to add ‘Hold an alligator’ just so we could check it off – cough}. Because I did.

Here’s a peek at some of the fun things that you all shared last week during the link up. Be sure to stop by and visit others this week too and encourage each other!

If you are thinking about Before Five in a Row this year, Artful Homemaking shares a bit about their My Blue Boat unit. Isn’t this lunch a fun addition to their lessons?

Car rides can be a source of frustration for kids {and parents}. Before you head out on your next road trip, visit  Teaching Mama for 5 ways to keep kids busy in the car. {You’ll thank her for it!}.

Have some sweetened condensed milk in your pantry? Pull it out and use it for painting! Check out this idea from Teaching 2 and 3 Year Olds and start stamping!

Have fun making a musical instrument with your kids. All you need is an empty tissue box and a few other supplies you most likely have around your house. Check out the idea from Accidental Teacher, On Purpose.

Sometime this year, you may want to plan on doing a Knights and Princesses unit. The Fantastic Five shares the crafts and activities that she worked on with their three kiddos. I love the knight in shining armor!

And if you are ready for a little bit of messy fun, be sure to stop by One Beautiful Home and grab her Cloud Dough recipe. It will definitely be a hit with your little ones!

Each week I am  pinning many of your links onto the Preschool and Kindergarten Community Pinterest Board. I’m a visual person, so having pictures to help me remember posts is super helpful. Be sure to jump over and follow the board – and find some fun ideas at the same time!
