Snowman Glyph

Do you wanna build a snowman??? (Sing along, I’m sure you know the tune) I sang that line over and over during this project with my kiddos.

If you’ve never heard of a glyph before you’ve got to check this out. This is a super cute snowman project, but the best part is that each one will look unique and different based on each child’s preferences. snowman glyph pic

Each child will answer various questions about winter and class favorites.

Joseph’s Colored Coat

Oh my goodness! I simply loved this project and the kids did too!! To enhance the story of Joseph and his coat we decided that we just had to make our very own coats.Joseph bag coat final

We used large paper grocery bags from our local grocery store. Before cutting or trimming them we asked the kids to color them with LOTS of colors just like Joseph’s richly ornamented robe.Joseph bag coat 2

Aren’t they just so cute? The kids loved modeling their coats after we trimmed them and added arm holes. The kids were able to act out the beginning of the story of Joseph.Joseph bag coat 3

Have fun!!

Joseph’s Colored Coat Paper Dolls

I love incorporating Bible stories at my Preschool. This is the first time I’ve taught the story of Joseph. We’re going to spend 1 week talking about his colored coat and his brothers selling him as a slave, 1 week talking about Potiphar’s house and going to jail and a final week talking about Joseph as a leader and the famine. Just for fun we made Joseph paper dolls with beautiful colored coats.

Go, go, go Joseph you’ll make it someday… Seriously every time I read this story I start singing the song from the play, “Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat”. Love that musical!!Joseph Doll

I began by printing the paper dolls on cardstock and the coats on card stock. The kids colored the dolls and we put them on popsicle sticks.Joseph back coat

Second we covered the paper “coat” in glue and added strips of random fabric. I was lucky enough to have a friend with lots of beautiful scraps.

After they dried the excess fabric was trimmed off and a popsicle stick was added. Joseph coats done

Aren’t they cute? The all turned out so different. The kids are going to love re-telling the story using their puppets.

Snowflake Valentines

vday doily 1

I know that they aren’t actually snowflake Valentine’s, but that’s what my students are calling them.

vday doily 3Aren’t they simply adorable? I love each and every one and I can’t wait to put them in the students’ scrapbooks.vday doily 2Right now they are decorating the walls coming into the school. Simply find round paper doilies, (I found mine at my local grocery store!) paint and some cute little hands.

I backed mine on construction paper to make the pictures POP a little off of the walls. So cute!!

Happy Crafting!

Valentine Journal Writing

I love hearing from kids about what 3 and 4 year olds love. The silly answers like, “my doggy”, “chocolate” or “playing at the park” make my heart smile. I use these simple journal printables to take a PEEK into their little brains and see what they are thinking. I made two versions depending on the writing skills of those that you work with.vday journal blank small
