Lest We Forget

   Today we celebrate the great sacrifice that soldiers made for us to enjoy the many freedoms we take for granted.  I know many of your kids are off school today, and you are probably at home wondering what to do with them.  Here's a cute little book that they can colour, while you talk about the importance of Remembrance Day, and the things they are grateful for.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!

   Welcome to the Stay'n'Play Preschool Blog!  Here you'll find fun activities to do with your kids, printouts, and updates about Stay'n'Play Preschool!  At the moment, Stay'n'Play Preschool is not in operation.  However, once my family and I have settled into our first house (the hunt is coming up really soon! I'm super excited!) I'm hoping to get things started up in the Summer of 2014.  In the meantime, I've been busy making lesson plans, working towards completing my Early Childhood Education, and planning fun activities which I will share with you on here. So until then, enjoy the activities and watch for the news!

   Here's a fun Thanksgiving Craft to do with your kidlets.  It's fun, easy, and simple!  Plus, it's a great keepsake!

What you need:
     -scissors
     -yellow, red, orange, and brown construction paper (or paint)
     -pencil
     -glue
     -googly eyes

What you do (if using construction paper)
     Trace out two copies of your child's hand on the yellow, red, and orange construction paper.  Trace your child's foot on the brown construction paper.  Help your child cut out their hands, and foot.  Using the scraps, cut out feet, and a beak.  Place a dab of glue on the palm of each hand cut out, and place behind the foot to create the turkey's feathers.  After all the hands have been glued on, glue on the googly eyes, feet, and beak.

What you do (if using paint)
   Cover your child's hand with red paint, then press onto a sheet of paper.  Repeat again using the yellow and orange paint.  Arrange the handprints so the palms are together.  Once the handprints have dried, cover your child's foot with brown paint and press on top of the handprints.  Wait for the whole turkey to dry.  Once the turkey has dried, paint on the beak, and feet.  Glue on the googly eyes.

Happy thanksgiving everyone!
