Kids Art Show

August 2nd 2011 13:28

Better than a lemonade stand, a kids art show can be a fun way to promote creativity, earn money and build a sense of community.

Host your own with the following tips for a One Dolla Holla, Fifty Cent Center or Quarter Show Tips

Invite participates. You probably have a basic group in mind. It could be simply your own children or expand it to their close friends, a street in your neighborhood or make it a club event. Scouts or sports teams can pull off an effective quarter show.

Suggest sale items. Compile a list of items that are acceptable for the show. This can be decided upon as a group, or set in place ahead of time. Baked goods such as cookies should be wrapped ahead of time and ready to go. Handfuls of trail mix in baggies were just as popular as brownies at our show. Sun catchers, dream catchers, home made note cards and bookmarks were some of the offerings. Simple crafts, home made jewelry and little bouquets of flowers kept the show pretty, while they were there. We had a table for gently used toys and a place to buy hot dogs, lemonade and chips, for a quarter of course.

Read on for more information...and why a single set price is best.

A is for Always

April 2nd 2011 12:52

For 26 days in April (minus Sundays) I will be posting a blog for each letter of the alphabet.
"Sylvie's word of the day"
I am all for challenges, so when this was dangled in front of me in my writers group, I grabbed it.

Hundreds of people signed up, literally 1037 people. Go ahead, Sign up here, if you dare.

This mini adventure is fairly mundane, but with 1000 bloggers jumping in, stalking each other, chatting away everyday, something good is bound to happen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Always is my word of the day, in honor of ALWAYS learning. Life is too ....oh wait, I'll just quote Henry Miller, he said it best.....

"develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music, the world is simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself." ~Henry Miller

Winnie the Pooh Math Fun

July 26th 2010 04:03

Winnie the Pooh Bear is a well-loved children's classic storybook character.

Use this sweet, honey-obsessed bear to gain your preschooler's attention when introducing math facts. Relate cooking, time, counting and sorting to Winnie the Pooh and his antics from his stories.

Winnie the Pooh

Originally developed by A.A. Milne in 1924, Winnie the Pooh has been featured in animated television shows, movies, games and nursery decorations, along with the book series.

Try Cooking with Winnie the Pooh Bear

Math is more than just numbers on a piece of paper. Cook a Winnie the Pooh Bear snack and incorporate math skills into a fun treat that preschoolers can make. Mix up a batch of sugar cookies using a recipe from any cookbook. Have the preschooler help measure the ingredients. Once the dough is done, roll it out and use Winnie the Pooh cookie cutters to make special cookies. You can find themed cookie cutters online or in craft stores.

A no-cook version is Pooh Bear Honey Butter spread on graham crackers. Have the preschooler measure equal amounts of honey and soft butter into a bowl. Let them mix the two items together and then spread it on graham crackers. Incorporate math concepts into this activity by showing how the graham cracker can be divided in half or into four equal sections. They can also count out how many snacks they will need to make for the family or group.

Tell Time with Winnie the Pooh Bear

Consider purchasing one of the products on the market that feature telling time with Winnie the Pooh. "Tell Time with Winnie the Pooh Bear" has a clock built right into the storybook. Preschoolers can learn to tell time by moving the clock hands to the right position for each time referenced in the storybook's text.

Winnie the Pooh's Telling Time Sticker book includes full-color reusable stickers for preschoolers to use when learning how to tell time and discover shapes and colors.

Winnie the Pooh Preschool Game

Winnie the Pooh Preschool is a computer game designed for young children. In going through all the steps involved in throwing a birthday party for Christopher Robin, they will learn sequencing, number recognition and counting skills. All the activities are incorporated into the story line. Preschoolers can learn math concepts on their own with this game.

Cranberry Thanksgiving

October 2nd 2009 18:39

Cranberry Thanksgiving written by Wende and Harry Devlin in 1971 is one of those time honoured books that lends itself to family traditions - in the case of Cranberry Thanksgiving it is Cranberry Bread.

Cranberry Thanksgiving is the story of a young girl named Maggie who lives with her Grandmother near a cranberry bog in New England. The book includes some interesting characters and colourful illustrations and the story takes some interesting twists and turns, demonstrating that looks can be deceiving. It even includes Grandmother’s Famous Cranberry Bread recipe for you to bake at home.

DLTK features a fun Thanksgiving mini book for kindergarten children to colour as well as Thanksgiving crafts to do including pilgrims, turkeys and pumpkins. And those in need of a pumpkin template then look no further - Preschool Express features pumpkins in three sizes for you to copy and cut out for your crafting needs.

Crayola features a Happy Thanksgiving page to colour as well as a fun turkey craft.

The fun dolls Eddie and Amy which often come to our aid also feature Thanksgiving clothing and for those doubly organised, Halloween costumes as well.

It is is a time for giving thanks and hopefully the poems over at Thanksgiving Day manage to convey the spirit of the holiday.
