What are the activities in preschool?
Rain sticks
To make these rain sticks, we took a Pringles tube and hammered nails into the side. My husband was very unhappy (NOT!) about being given the assignment of eating the Pringles. I got the nails started and then Lena carefully hammered in the rest of the way.*
Then I filled the inside with some expired steel cut oats and duct-taped it shut tight all the way around. Lena made a “jungle drawing” that we then taped to the outside.
These were supposed to be rain sticks, but really they were just shakers. Lena and I made one with nails in it, and then I made another for Maggie without nails, and I honestly can’t tell any difference in the way they sound. The hammering practice was good for Lena, though. I encouraged Lena to decorate her rain stick in a jungley way, but this is what she chose to do.
*I felt comfortable letting my 4-year-old use a hammer. As always, use your best judgement as to what your child can do safely.
Jungle Snack mix
This little snack mix contains jungle animal crackers, green (and red, and blue) jungle vines, yogurt covered raisins (jungle rocks?), dried mango, and pretzels (jungle sticks). We had to stretch our imaginations a little bit here, but the girls always love a good jungle snack mix and they usually buy in to whatever theme I’m trying to put together.
Lion Masks
I just loved this craft! The directions for this lion mask tutorialare on iMake. I found it difficult to help both of my girls at one time during this craft. If you have more than one child, you may need to pre-cut and even pre-curl all of your strips of paper.
Picture Books
Read all about the jungle picture books that we enjoyed this week. I especially loved Rumble in the Jungle by Giles Andreae. The girls learned to recite a couple of the little poems.
Jungle Vine Gross Motor Activity
Pull some chairs together and thread green crepe paper or yarn through to make some jungle vines for your little ones to crawl through. This was great practice for crawling, climbing, scurrying, and shimmying.
This set up also encouraged tons of great imaginative play. In the photo above, Lena had asked me to make her some ‘snakes’ that she spread along the jungle floor.
The girls also pulled out their safari hats and binoculars, along with their lion masks. They went searching through the jungle for wild animals.
After the jungle vines had gotten all stretched out and droopy (and it was time for dinner, so we needed our chairs back), Lena built an ax and chopped all the vines down.
All in all, this was our favorite activity of the week. It took less than 5 minutes to set up, and cost about $1 for the roll of crepe paper. The girls played with the set up for several hours!
