Learn Name with Paper Rolls : Pre-K Activity

If your kiddo is crazy about cars this is a great activity to teach them their name during play. Almost no setup play activity, I would say. You just need paper rolls and toy cars. Write their name with each letter on a roll, likewise on the cars. All set and we are ready for the fun learning activity. Place the cars in wrong order and watch them park the cars inside the right roll. 

LO helped me in writing the letters and sticking them onto the cars.

Melting Rainbow! Colorful activity for kids

I got this idea when I went to LO's school, and from that time I wanted to do with LO at home. But by then, the winter was almost over and there wasn't any snow shower to my disappointment. Surprisingly this spring we had couple of snow showers🌈⛄☃, and I managed to collect some snow for this painting! I believe it snowed during spring just for me!!😝

When I was thinking what to paint with the snow, idea came through LO! That week, LO's class was doing Rainbow related activities to welcome the spring. So I thought to combine the spring and winter, and thus the Rainbow on Snow idea emerged!😎

I collected snow in an aluminium tray and used washable colors. You can dilute the colors, which when done is much easier to use. We used a dropper to color, which we get along with the tonics.

Used a plastic egg carton to dilute the colors!😬

And finally the VIBGYOR🌈 on snow!

When left undisturbed for some time you can see the snow melting to form a beautiful 'Rainbow on Water'!!🌈

Bizarre Ideas with Play Dough

When you set for a free play, the kids find some freakish ideas to do with. This is one of a kind from LO and Me😜 We used Lego, Googly eyes, Cars.. to bring out these bizarre snaps.

Paper Penguin Craft

Though in our place officially the spring season signed in, I'm not sure, why winter decided to remain obdurate until April to commence. I thought to make this Penguin craft with LO by the time we wait to see the little green buds on the trees. 

I hope you like this Hand Print Penguin craft. Give a try and let me know how it turned out.

City in a Box - DIY Cardboard Activity

Our recent activity using this cardboard was a super hit with LO. He liked it so much and even  showed interest to help me while making this box. We do something or the other with the package boxes before we through them out to the trash. This time I thought to make a tunnel for the train track and finally ended up in making other stuffs. It was all because of LO(!)😊,usually when I start to make something, I use to have a plan in mind, and start the work. But LO throws in a point or he requests for a small add-on, which would completely change my plan and evolve into an entirely new idea! This activity is such a kind!

LO helped me in gluing and writing stuffs. Keep the knife out of kid's reach. 

I made all the pencil markings and LO turned them to markers. And Kids can also contribute by coloring with the crayons.

We made a Police Station and Car wash on one side. 

Fire Station and Hospital on the other side. LO badly wanted to make a school, but we didn't have any school bus in our vehicle collection so I avoided it.

On the top of the box, we made just a highway kinda setup, with gas station, sign boards, trees.. etc.

He collected all the appropriate vehicles along with the figurines!

We made a tunnel for the train (which was my actual plan!), finally..😀

This was be absolutely fun. LO helped me in coloring, writing and gluing. I'm sure LO would have felt a sense of achievement!! 😃

The best part was LO's patience...! He was patient enough to wait until I captured all the snaps!!

Please try out this activity with your kids during this summer and let me know how it came out. You can customize the box according to your needs, based on the availability of the vehicles, and importantly your kids' choice!!

Happy Parenting!! 😊😊😊
