A paint palette works well for a shaving foam sensory tray with tiny skulls, bones and spiders. Invitation for children to eye drop red and yellow liquid food colors onto the foam and mix it in.

This turkey is made with COFFEE playdough! It’s an easy to make recipe with ingredients you have in your home. Search “Thanksgiving Day” or “Turkey” on my blog at puttingtheprettyinpreschool.com for the recipe and instructions to make the turkey.

This book by Nicola Davies may make you like BATS as much as Morticia Addams does....as is suggested in her famous romantic bat quote “You are dearer to me than all the bats in all the caves in the world.” This week Shelly from @creatingcreatives is guest host at @a.pop.of.culture . The theme is The Addams Family.

Who wouldn’t want to get a bubble bath ready for a TIGER! A tub filled with bubbles and toys was the birthday gift for an Amur tiger at our local zoo.

Sometimes a printable base for art is the perfect choice. The tree in the book “The Giving Tree” has a heart filled with love and friendship that spreads from its trunk to the tips of its leaves.
When I looked over my copy of the book I realized it had been given to me years ago by one of my student families. It brought back memories of this treasured family and that period of teaching. “The Giving Tree” is the theme over at @a.pop.of.culture this week.

Just completed reading the book “Draw, Paint and Sparkle” by Patty Palmer @deepspacesparkle . The book is filled with beautiful art projects for K-6 students, and is very suited to homeschooling families.
This Georgia O’keefe style leaf is inspired by Patty’s pastel crayon and liquid food coloring techniques.

Thanks @raising.kinley for popping the idea into my brain to loan this fabulous book from my local library.

How you spend a Friday night when you get a tip that there is a maple tree in your neighbourhood and you

1) live in Edmonton

2) are a teacher

3) are Canadian

Invitation to layer a pumpkin pie ice cream dessert with shaving cream, cereal, orange liquid food coloring, and cereal. This sensory activity is modelled after my favourite dessert at the moment, the DQ pumpkin pie blizzard.

This post is an entry for Pumpkin Pie Week at @a.pop.of.culture hosted by Susie at @resolvetoplay .

“Charlotte’s Web” book inspired sensory tub. 🐷🕷 What I remember most about the book “Charlotte’s Web” are the words Spider Charlotte weaved in her web to describe/elevate Wilbur pig.
In our social media world, a reminder of the power of positive affirmation is as fitting as ever.

It’s Charlotte’s Web week over at @a.pop.of.culture , with guest host Cat from @littliesactivities . I can’t think of a more fun theme! Check #apopofculture for all the wonderful ideas!

Pop up stove in a sensory table “mud kitchen.” I drew a stove top on a piece of cardboard and laid it over a crate in the table. Accessories are @ikeacanada pots and pans, leaves, spoons, rocks and wood pieces.

I’ve been admiring the mud kitchens over on accounts from England, ie @learningthroughplay8 . I haven’t seen anyone who carries them in Canada yet, but thought the concept could work indoors. This center was popular in my class today!
