Creative teachers in preschool

in Creative Art, The Basics in Early Childhood Education

When I get the chance, I love to go into one of our local preschools here and just admire all the art they display on their walls, ceilings, and windows. Last week I stopped in and here are some of the displays I enjoyed seeing. Many of them were just getting started so the children’s work hasn’t been all added yet. But the teachers also love to show their talent!

A beautiful touch of spring!

Twinkle, Twinkle Ten Little Stars

Busy Bees!

This is the Way We Bounce the Ball!

Way up High in the Apple Tree!

Hopping Into Spring!

Reading with Dr. Seuss!

Little Birds go Chirp, Chirp, Chirp1

Little Leprechauns!

All about Me and My Family!

The teachers at this school are so creative and talented. They work hard to display their student art in a fun, inviting, bright, colorful, and attractive way. Some of you may even noticed that I took the liberty to title most of these displays after one of my songs:) I hope you enjoyed their displays as much as I did.

Add some food coloring to corn syrup and you have a very sweet glue mixture!

The children painted a little fish bowl cut out with the blue corn syrup.

Then they added little construction paper [...]

Creating a stick puppet stage for your preschool classroom

by Deborah J. Stewart March 5, 2010 Teaching Tools

A week or so ago, I blogged about the use of puppets in the preschool classroom. At that time, I showed you a very plain puppet stage – all white with no bells and whistles. Now I want to illustrate the potential use of a display board once you get it all fixed up!
I am [...]
