Preschool 10/6

Theme:
Fall Is Here!, day 2

Today we talked a lot about squirrels. How they gather nuts, where they live, and what they eat.

Art

Painting with our hands with Fall colors.

We also made our own squirrels. They colored the squirrel template and then cut & glued on pieces of grey yarn for the fur.



Afterwards I told them they were going to pretend to be squirrels and I was going to hide, ok scatter nuts around the room and they had to hurry and gather them and bring back to the nest (the bowl). They were quick at this!


Afterwards we observed all the different nuts - shapes, size, texture. We sorted them out and in doing so Megan found an almond that was easy to open. Out popped a yucky looking old nut. She wanted to eat it but I told her no. So we went downstairs and tried some fresh almonds I had in the fridge.

Afterwards we enjoyed some playtime outside!


Snack

Fish crackers & cheese
