In January I went to a training and picked up a GREAT children's cd Smile at Your Neighbor with Mr. Eric The kids fell in love with multiple songs but their favorite is "The story of the Three Little Pigs" the kids beg and ask for it daily! so I thought it would be fun to do a couple crafts to go along with it. so today we made the 3 houses! I had cut up "straw" "sticks" and "bricks" I laid the materials on the table and had the kids guess what we were going to do with them. I didn't get much, so I then showed them the little houses I cut out and right away a child replies "we are going to make a house of straw, sticks, and bricks!!!" "stacking the bricks" learning to use the glue bottle without any help! a glue stick and "straw" for the little guy! this little dude was so busy watching the what the "big" boys were doing!! working so hard with those confusing glue sticks! our finished products! Come back tomorrow to see the little pigs!! :)
