Writing on a vertical surface is beneficial to a child who is a beginning writer. The angle of a the vertical surface makes it easier for children to see and, as a result, develop fine motor skills. The slant of the board also promotes shoulder, arm and hand coordination.
On Thursday in the Toddler Room, we made “tie-dye” paintings by putting paint on a plate and spinning it around on a paper. The product is awesome!!! Here are a few shots from our day…
The preschoolers practiced their crayon grip, shape recognition, and hand-eye coordination all at once! We added some color to the circles of the Creative Tots tree.
Today we had lots of fun painting with plates!!! Check out the cool swirls of colors we created!!

I apologize for not posting on Monday. I was having some technical difficulties with the blog/photos! It is up and running now! I included some of Monday’s photos along with today’s photos.
MONDAY:
We practiced writing vertical and horizontal lines. We made “M” is for “Mountain” with sponges and paint. We also continued to work on the letters in our names. Here are a few photos from the day….
TODAY (WEDNESDAY):
Today we continued to work on our letter of the week: “M.” We practiced our fine motor skills as we glued small pieces of paper to an “M.” We painted circles (our shape of the month) with cut-up pool noodles. LOVED how these turned out. We also worked on our shape of the month by playing a matching game. Then we played “Circle or Not” where the children had to identify whether or not a shape was a circle…or not! 🙂 We have begun a new name recognition activity during our second group time during the day. The children are definitely getting the hang of recognizing their names. I’m so excited!!! So much progress!!
