Hot Cocoa Writing Skills

1/27/2020

The free membership printable this week is hot cocoa writing skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them and put them in a basket with washable markers.

In this activity children trace the dashed lines with their finger and then with washable markers. I have included both black and white as well as color versions.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday February 2nd ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added hot cocoa alphabet punch strips.

The free membership printable this week is Hot Cocoa Number Match for number recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.

I set the hot cocoa cups and number circles out on the table in to separate piles. I made sure the numbers were all mixed up in each pile. Children put the cups in numerical order and then put the matching number circle on top of each cup.

puffy paint penguin craft for preschool and kindergarten

We made puffy paint penguins after circle time today. It was a great project for scissor skills ... sensory and fine motor development. We used black and orange cardstock paper to make the the penguins. We free cut the penguin shapes but I have included patterns that you can trace around on the cardstock paper.

The next step was to make the puffy paint which was really easy. The children mixed 1 cup of shaving cream and 1/2 cup of white glue together with a craft stick. The puffy paint should be like a thick marshmallow topping ... if it is not you can add more glue.

The children applied the puffy paint to the penguins using either their fingers or craft sticks. The penguins took a while to dry because of the thickness of the paint.
