by Deborah J. Stewart September 1, 2010 Puppets

I don’t know where the teacher got these felt puppets from but she said it was a kit that she found tucked away in the back of her closet. I enjoyed watching the children make their puppets. The children liked having all the different pieces of felt to choose from to design their very own [...]

Finger painting fun by Carol Brooke

by Deborah J. Stewart August 23, 2010 Creative Art

There’s something quite intriguing about feeling paint on your fingers as you spread it onto your canvas. Do it yourself and try not to smile.

We didn’t like painting with popsicles in preschool

by Deborah J. Stewart August 20, 2010 Creative Art
