"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Make & Take Monday

Welcome Back!

It's beginning to look a lot like SCHOOL. It is hard to believe another school year has started. Time flies. Our first make & take is a great sensory idea (wouldn't you know it!) It is a back-to-school tub. Hope your kids enjoy!

Materials:
:: Shredded notebook paper (or shredded construction paper)
:: Pencil case (one with a zipper will encourage fine motor development)
:: Crayons (homemade crayons would be fun too):: Pencils
:: Erasers (which can be added to the pencil tops for a fine motor activity)
:: Pencil sharpener (to be used with the pencils, of course)
:: Scissors (children can further cut the shredded paper)
:: Paper clips (these can be used to make chains, patterns, counting, etc.)
:: Wooden alphabet tiles

Taken from Counting Coconuts
:: Number beads, 0-10 (can be laced)
:: Tiny wooden apples
:: Colorful shapes 
:: Mini homemade notebooks
:: Small alphabet book
:: School bus calendar cards
:: Back to school novelty buttons
