Preschool Picassas-weeks 1 and 2

I have been teaching classes at the local Rec center and this session I was 

able to add a new class to my  list: Preschool Picassos.

It is an art class, this time for 2-3  year olds. I have taken this class with Jordan and Spencer, so was excited to be able to teach it. 

I decided to try to find a book to read each week to base my project on. 

Here is my first choice.

We did lots of painting and talking about colors. I have a good group of parents and kids, 8 total,  and they all seemed to really enjoy it.

Week 2 The Rainbow Fish

I love this book and thought it would be awesome to teach about sharing and to do a cute project.

The book I got an idea from.

supplies all ready. I got sparkly foam and cut out fins shapes. It was nice since they had sticky backs the kids could just peel off and stick on.

And my finished product. A bit childlike, but then again, I am teaching toddlers:) The class went well and the kiddos loved working on it.
