Shades of Orange

We painted with shades of orange paint in preschool this morning. Some of us were very careful to keep each orange shade separate while others mixed and mixed the oranges. We printed black pumpkins on our finished paintings.

More TK Activities

Now that I am finally getting pictures uploaded again, here are a couple more. Last week during our Community Helpers theme, we flipped foam "cookies" with spatulas. We matched the letters on the back of the cookies to the cookies on our paper cookie sheets. This week we have been learning more about nocturnal animals. Following a discussion on the book, Nightime, a nonfiction book about nocturnal animals, we made these paintings. The first step was to color the eyes of the nocturnal animals and the letters on the paper with a yellow crayon. Then we brushed black liquid watercolor onto our papers. The yellow crayon resisted the paint, causing the eyes to appear to be glowing.

Community Helpers

We ended our Community Helpers theme last week, but I could not resist sharing some of the pictures of the TK class pretending to be bakers. We made these fun baker's hats with old bulletin board border and whte plastic bags.
