-Rock painting is always fun, use tempura paints and glue on google eyes

=Tissue paper collage, cut various shapes and colors of tissue paper  let kids glue and arrange on paper.

Answer 4

Goldfish Crackers, Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, Carrot Sticks & Little Pickles.  Kids love these finger foods and they are all healthy foods when not eaten in excess.  As far as the crafts go....Finger Paints all the way.  It's washable and fun for the kids.  Plus it's a great creative outlet.  My kids are teenagers and every time they talk about the most fun they had in school when they were little, they always talk about finger painting.  Good luck!

Answer 6

I teach pottery to preschoolers. They all love it. As for snacks anything they can eat with their fingers. I always have them make pinch pots to begin with & when the pots are dry, they get fired in a kiln. When I bring them back the kids get to glaze them & back to the kiln go the little pots. All the kids in this class have a little dish they've made for their snacks.

This is a real biggie for them. To have made something from a ball of clay. You should see them when I bring in what they did the previous week. Their eyes light up and they all grin like the Chesshire Cat  from Alice..

Answer 9

Try this,  bring three different kinds of apples.  One green (granny smith) one red, (washington) one yellow (golden delicious)  and have a graph ready or sponge paint of apples.  And, also have some apples enough for the class for snack.  It will serve as both snack, science and math.  You can even bring pictures or books such as "The Giving Tree" a Dr. Seuss book that is theme related.  Good luck and I know you'll enjoy it!!!
