Preschool Day - R & N

For the letters, R & N, we had so many ideas we had to limit ourselves! We did the letter formations first, with Handwriting Without Tears worksheets.

Then it was story time, we try to find books that go with the letters, or the words we are learning that day or crafts we are doing.

We learned about rainbows and the colors that make them.

Then they got to paint their own rainbows and of course the letter for their name.

We made "rainbow flyers" out of paper plates and tissue paper. Ours is STILL hanging up as decoration.

Then the kids got to help with some of their favorite activities....making the EDIBLE items. We made chocolate bird nests and they LOVED them. I just used the chocolate candy melts (Michaels sells them) and then we had leftover Easter egg candy (jelly beans would work for eggs too) and topped with marshmallow birds. YUMMY

To go with lunch, I had rainbow color fruit separated in bowls and had the kids put them on wooden skewers (again found at Michaels) in the order of the rainbow....they really enjoyed this a lot...although Emma had a hard time not eating all the strawberries!!
