Weaving mobile added 12-28-98 Original Author Unknown \n\nNeed: Cardboard, sparkling yarn or metalic thread, dowel \n\nDirections: Cut shapes from cardboard to fit in with the days bible story theme. Cut small slits around each shape, each approx. 1/4"-1/2" apart. Begin wrapping the shape with sparkling yarn or metallic thread. Use the slits to hold the yarn in place. Punch a hole in the top of each figure and tie the shape to a 12"long dowel with yarn attached to both ends to make a hanger (or use metal coat hanger). http://www.preschooleducation.com/agod.shtml\n\n\nWeaving Projects\nhttp://www.makingfriends.com/weaving_crafts.htm\n\n5) Yarn-Strings or old shoe laces. \nProject: You can teach kids to weave by using a cardboard as a background and yarn to weave a small piece, make a mandala with two sticks and yarn, glue yarn on paper to make a shape, wrap it around bottles or wire for a pretty design.

I used to teach Sunday School, and It's GREAT to do a craft with them. I would look in a children's bible and pick out a good story and base the class on that story and what it teaches. Find a craft to do relating to it- even if it's just coloring. Read the kids the story and talk briefly about what it means, then explain the craft you guys are going to do and how it relates to the story you just read. Then you guys can all do the craft until the parents come pick them up!

How about some beanbag chairs and a small couch.  We also added a story time theatre with teired steps to maximize space for many students.  Plus if the children are young include some toy characters from the books and even artifacts from different countries.  Plus posters of famous faces promoting reading is a great addition.

Limbo, Pinata. Musical Chairs, Pin the Tail On the Donkey, Dance contest, Pop The most Balloons, Simon Says, Toss the egg or water balloon, spoon race, 3 legged race, sack race, eating contest. You can do Arts And Crafts.... Have the kids fill sand bottles, paint bird houses or other inexpensive wooden items. If you go to your local ART & CRAFTS Store you can get many of the items at very little costs. You may also see some other ideas there. Good Luck!!!

Yes, you can probably find something at Michael's, or any large arts and crafts store in your area.\nAlso, depending on the size of your town, you might find something at the library - in my experience, library staffers are usually more than happy to help.\nA more "not leaving the house" kind of way to get info would be to use a popular search engine, like yahoo or google, and you can even try a search on Amazon.com, which is an insanely large on-line retailer, if you don't already know that.\nGood luck, and i disagree with the first person, at least a little - yeah, its fun to be creative and spontaneous with arts and crafts, but as a kid, with limited conceptual skills, nothing can eat the end result of a project with instructions. Plus, its a way for you 2 to do something together.\nGood luck, I hope this helps you get started!

I guess it depends on what age you are talking about, but heres a few ideas regardless\n\npre-bake some sugar cookies so when everyone arrives they are ready to be decorated by \n\nYou could buy however many you need smallish clay pots- paints/glitter, whatever and have everyone decorate a pot to store their pens/pencils in for their desk\n\nCollages- cut pictures or words out of magezines- have a contest who has the least amount of paper showing or the most pictures surrounding a certain theme\n\njewelry making- get some beads from a craft store or cut up some old neckalces- you can make earrings, braceletts, necklaces, anklets, etc.\n\nif i think of more, ill add some..

www.starfall.com\nIf you're looking for something different try this site. My 2.5 yr old son really likes it.  It has preschool through elementary school activities that are totally free. This site provides printable activities to match the online activities.\n\nAs listed above, www.playhousedisney.com, and www.nickjr.com are also good sites. There is also quite a bit on www.pbskids.org.  Another one to keep in mind (for a later date)would be www.handwritingforkids.com\n\nAlso if you don't already have it, buy your child some Fridge Phonics by LeapFrog. You can usually find it under $20. Your child will really enjoy it.

teacherlessonplans.com abcteaching.com With preschool you make the lesson plans short interesting activities. Realize that if you are teaching them to write a letters it is going to take one on one with most of them which means the class gets rowdy. You have to have a backup plan for the ones who finish early. You can plan short stories and asking questions that they can answer (they love to talk and have an opinion). The ability to concentrate four of five minutes is the norm when they work alone. You have to give lots of brain breaks. They like to sing, color, play with puzzles, paint and chatter. Things on the line of mother may I and musical chairs...they like things they can win. Good luck!

Do somethings little girls like to do. \n1.Play tea party.\n2.Take walks, and talk. Point things like bugs out \nto her. Get messy and make mud pies. Why I think my\nnails are so long. I loved making them.\n3.Arts and crafts= coloring, drawing, painting, pasting.\n4.Put cut out shapes on paper with a glue stick.\n5.Read to her.\n6.Have her read to you.

My favorite tv commercial\nis of a father dancing with his daughter. \nI used to work with children.

ask the children to bring in empty packaging from home as a small homework task. sort through th items brought in with the children talking about what can be recycled and why we should recycle. More importantly what recycling means. \nAllow the children to make collages using the varoius types of materials which can be recycled. \nyou could make this into a display. You could also do junk modelling with the packaging.
