Now that spring is officially here, there are SO MANY fun themes we want to do! Both my kiddos love pond life, so we thought pond would be a fun theme to explore. These printable pages and activities come from my Pond Preschool Pack in my TPT shop. Pond Preschool Pack Here is a peek inside the pack! Frog Number Puzzles- Count the frogs on the ten frame. Match ten frame to the number. Rhyming Wheels- Identify the pictures that rhyme with the center picture. Use a clothespin or counter to mark the rhyming pictures. Jumping Frog Measurement- Measure how high each frog can jump with unifex cubes. Counting Ducks- Pick a counting card and count ducks into the pond. Frog Shapes- Build each shape frog with play dough or Wikki Stix. Build a Letter- Use loose parts, like gems or rocks to build each letter. Fish Counting- Use goldfish crackers to count to 20! Comparing Numbers- Use goldfish, rocks, ducks, or frogs to count each number. Compare numbers. Frog Alphabet Match- We made a sensory tray with blue beans. Place the letter cards in the sensory bin. Pull out a card and cover that lily pad with a counter. Fishing for Sounds- Go fishing! What does the picture show? Mark the beginning sound on the recording page. Lily Pad Hop- Have your students, or toy frogs, hop along the lily pad alphabet. Squish Bag- Squirt blue paint into a bag. Trace each letter for writing practice. Frog Addition- Spin each spinner. Add the numbers together. Color Match- Spin the spinner. Cover a fish with that same color. I hope you all enjoy this theme as much as we have! Pond Preschool Pack Here are some other fun ideas we used with this theme!! Pond Play Dough Tray- We made blue and green play dough and added in foam lily pads, ducks (from the Dollar Tree), rocks, frog figures, and gems! I always love seeing their creativity with loose parts and play dough! Pond Slime- We used blue glue to make this batch of slime and it was a HIT! Pond Water Play- We used foam lily pads and I wrote a number on each one. Frogs, ducks, and blue water made this bin a lot of fun for my boys. Here is a fun freebie for you! Alphabet Match Freebie- Complete each puzzle by matching the uppercase and lowercase letters. Grab it HERE.

The Dallas Museum of Art has a wonderful Monet Painting in a beautiful gold frame which inspired me to create this lesson for our Big Art Day which is fast approaching in Texas schools. For our Big Art day this year I have a Theme....Circle Art! Themes are the way to go when organizing events. I love this new lesson that was inspired by one of my favorite artists, and two favorite bloggers: Painted Paper and Cassie Stephen's who also use themes. I ordered the 10 inch cardboard circle rounds for this lesson, the same size Cassie used in her Dot Day Art. School Specialty has various sizes. The kids loved painting on this canvas instead of paper. We read about Monet's garden and look at prints of his masterpieces. I even show them some of my pictures that I took when I visited his garden in France. On day one, we painted the pond and the water lily pond on a 10 inch cardboard circle on the white side with Prang tempera paint. We also made some Painted Paper for the water lilies Have you check out the Monet lesson over at Painted Paper? On Day two we read another sweet Monet book that emphasized his love of nature and the reflection of light. We also added a shiny frame with Metallic Playcolor sticks similar to the beautiful DMA Painting. Lovely!! The children created the water lily's from the green paper using oil pastels. No tracers here! The flowers from painted scrap paper with tissue centers. Some had a really hard time with the cutting, but we did it! I know Monet would be so proud of their work! I can't wait to hang them up for our Big Art Day Open House next month! Now on display!

My little one LOVES to pokey pin! Why Pokey Pin? It can be a perfect way to help cranky, agitated little ones relax and refocus. It helps with fine motor coordination. Once finished, the pages make a great window display in the classroom. Some of your kids will also enjoy the sensory experience of running their finger along the lines created at the back of the page when its finished. Alphabet Pokey Pin Pages I have made a new set of 'Pinning Pages' for my TpT store. Just print of the relevant page. Staple it to the front of a coloured piece of paper. How to Pokey Pin Provide your students with a drawing pin (push pin) - I like the giant push pins (Amazon affiliate link). Show them how to work on a soft surface or stack of newspaper. Demonstrate and emphasise the safety rules of working with pins. I show them that we always point the pin down, and never move around the classroom with it. Also emphasise the importance of putting the pin away correctly when the activity is finished. I have never had any problems with this activity after a thorough mini-lesson on safety. We have created a set of printable rule posters if this would help you. Students push their pin through each dot on the page to create a small hole. Then once finished, the white cover paper is removed to reveal the design. This spider is just one design out of 26 included in my new "A-Z Pinning Pages" product. Free Sample Pokey Pin Page If you would like to try out this activity we share this pumpkin page with you over in our free Coloring Club library! We know your little learners will love it!
