Math Art: Symmetry Project for Kids

October 14, 2008

Symmetry art project using dot painters

Exploring symmetry is a fun way to see math and art working together. My son is very mathematically inclined and whenever I can show him how patterns and systems can also be artistic (such as in our tessellations activity), he is becomes much more interested in art projects. Symmetry art projects are easy! All you need…

Unplugged Project: White (and Kosher)

October 7, 2008

This week’s Unplugged Project was WHITE. So I was motivated to do something with Kiddo that had been rolling around in my head since we had done something similar in Kiddo’s science class some time ago. (I had forgotten about how the Unplugged Project was such a motivator for me to get off my butt…

Easy Fine Motor Ideas (OR “…in which I pretend to be a Montessori Mom”)

October 1, 2008

I read a few blogs about Moms who actually plan and execute lesson plans for their pre-schoolers based on Montessori methods of teaching. I am a big fan of Montessori and of these Moms, but I am usually not together enough to plan things ahead of time. However,  I put together a few activities. I…

It Doesn’t Get More Fun than Apple Printing

September 30, 2008

Classic fall art project and apple craft for kids.

Today we did a fun kids’ apple craft: apple printing. This is such a classic fall art project. If you’ve never tried it, now is the time! All you need is a piece of fruit and a little (or a lot) of paint.  We had a great time and it was nice project for some…

Where is the Green Sheep?

September 19, 2008

Some of you may be familiar with the book Where is the Green Sheep? If you haven’t read this particular book a gazillion times as we have, you have most likely read another book by Mem Fox who has herself written a gazillion picture books (The Magic Hat, being another favorite). So when I saw…

Apple Festival

September 14, 2008

This weekend we took Kiddo to the Apple Festival in Prospect Park for some apple fun. We have been reading books about apples and Kiddo is currently obsessed with the apple stand at the farmer’s market which sells apple cider and apple cider donuts. Several booths offered tastings and sold apple infused alcoholic drinks. It…

Transportation Central

August 3, 2008

Julie asked how I fostered independent play. Frankly, I have no idea. However, I can say that the independent play is 80% centered around transportation. Kiddo is obsessed with organizing his transportation in different ways and recently I have been listening to him making up elaborate stories about the adventures of his cars and trucks…
