For our first pet craft of the month we made calico cats out of shapes! The children used their fine motor skills to add circle eyes, triangle ears, rectangle whiskers, and a heart nose. During this activity we went over shape and color recognition!

We put our small muscles to work today as we build our own moveable snake.  We talked about the different kinds of snakes living in Madagascar along with a variety of other animals we might see if were in Madagascar!

Today we made winter snow globes in the Toddler room. The bottle was filled half way with water. Then we added baby oil. The children loved watching all of the little bubbles form.

Next, we added one drop of blue food coloring.

Then the boys and girls used their fine motor skills to pinch and drop snowflakes into the bottles.

To finish the project the children shook up the bottles and watched the winter wonderland.

We have been working on measurement this month during our math studies and in anticipation of some snow, the kids made their own measurement tool to use when it does!

We explored the property of heat during our science lab today.  We made predictions about what would happen to both a marshmallow and a bar of ivory soap if we added heat.  We used our classroom microwave to conduct our experiment and look at our results…WOW!

This month the Toddlers have been working on identifying rectangles. The boys and girls went over color recognition and counting to five during this activity!
