The 3 Little Pigs Preschool Craft

 Oink! Not by the hair of my chiny chin chin! Make these egg carton pig noses then act out The 3 Little Pigs. Learn about pink, the number 3 and P is for pig.

 You'll need sections of an egg carton, pink and black paint and craft sticks.

Hot glue the egg carton to the end of a craft stick.

The children loved painting the noses pink.  Add black dots for the nostrils. 

Aren't Fairy Tales fun!?!

Preschool Rainbow Craft

An easy, fun craft for preschool to teach colors and sorting.  Great project to do when learning about circles too.

 Cut a paper plate in half.

Now for the fun part!  Let the children sort the fruit loops.  I've tried the generic brand too, but found that too many pieces stuck together.  Fruit Loops are easier to sort.

Glue the fruit loops onto the paper plate in the rainbow color order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).

 

Easy Handprint Ladybug Craft for Preschool

I love how these handprint ladybugs turned out!

Cut out a black construction paper body.  Make your own or use my printable ladybug body template. 

 

Cut out two handprints from red construction paper.

 

Glue the handprints and two wiggly eyes onto the body.

 

Add precut black circles or let the children color black circles on the wings.

 

So easy!!

My Sprout House

Spring has sprung, the flowers are blooming, and we all have spring fever!!  Time to plant some seeds and watch them grow!  Kids love learning how seeds turn into plants and this project is the perfect way to teach the life cycle of a seed. 

Color the sprout house.

Use a napkin folded in half.  Get it wet and place in a Ziploc bag.  Let the children place the seeds on the napkin.  Zip up the bag and staple it to the sprout house (printable found below).

We used one bean, one pea, and one corn seed.

Tape them to a window that gets lots of light and watch them grow.  So much fun!!
