What would be a really cute wintery lesson for preschoolers?

Question

Something EASY

Answer 1

Bears would be a really cute lesson plan...you can go lots of diff. ways with it.  talk about hibernating and even have the kids bring in their favorite teddy bear for a special show and share.  There are lots of easy teddy bear projects out there as well.  This is a cute site....

Below is also another great site..but you have to have the time to really look through it as it doesn't offer pictures, just teachers sharing ideas.   But there are some great ones!

Have fun with it...remember, it's also fun to ask the kids for ideas...they sure can come up with some cute things sometimes!!! Plus, I have found preschoolers get excited to learn about and complete projects that they suggested. GOOD LUCK!!!

-Learning different shapes through snowflakes.

Cut out shapes for them and they have to make their own snowflakes.

Answer 4

I teach pre-school and one friday we actually had a winter wonderland party. the children really liked it and were really excited about it. we actually got hot chocolate and munchkins as a special treat just be careful with allergies of course!

for decorations, the children cut out 3 stars, one large one, one med, and one small. then we attached it by string to make it look like a mobile putting the large one on top med in the middle and small on the bottom hang them vertically. We also made snowflakes, and in the sensory table you can put real snow or blocks of ice if you have those plastic animals and plastic hammers the children can hammer the ice and see whats inside!

Answer 6

This is what we are doing for the month of January at the preschool at work.  Last week we talked about the winter weather (snow, ice, cold, etc.), this week is what we wear in winter weather, next week is winter (arctic) animals.  That is what we do for winter.  This week's art is to paint a very large mitten at the easel, make handprints inside mittens (a copy of mittens together and paint their hands so it looks like their hands are in the mittens), ice painting (i use an ice tray and put drops of food color in the tray and freeze for about 15-20 minutes and then i take out the ice tray and put popsicle sticks in the cubes and then return the tray to the freezer to freeze overnight.  Then when I pop the ice out of the tray the next day i give my kids white paper and they can paint with ice.  You can also use small amounts of Kool-Aid if you prefer.) That is just some of the things we do at our preschool.

Answer 7

well in my preschool we have this stuf that is pretend snow and it wont melt or anything so its fun to put on the sensory table because it lasts, it dosent feel exactly like snow but its really cool. umm some books you could read are froggy gets dressed, its very cute. you can try different snow flake activities. if you have a small group time (where they all sit on a rug together and do some sort of activity) then you could have a snow ball fight, what we did was: had a teacher hold up a hoolahoop and the kids throw balled up paper throw the hoop, to make it more fun they wore mittens and hats. also play hot potato but instaed use a snowball, there may be a lot of water every where but it wont hurt anyone. hope this helps!

Answer 8

Today I did a lesson of the differences of gloves and mittens. I brought a huge pile of both and we sepated them into a mitten pile and a glove pile. Then we separated them into pairs. and I hid one and they had to find the matching one, of one I gave them.

Then I read the book, The Mitten, by Jan Brett.

Answer 9

I don't know where you live - but snow!  Bring some in and let them see it melt - put it in your sensory table and give them gloves.  Put a cup of water outside and let them see it expand as it freezes.  Make a snowman at your art table with shaving cream and glue - it makes a fluffy mixture they can paint on a snowman shape and add their own embellishments.

Answer 10

Snowflakes.

Help them cut them out and explain how every snowflake is unique just like themselves
