This group is always well-behaved, but today was
exceptional! They were so attentive and quiet during storytime, I was able to
read two board books and I was proud of them for their sharing skills too.
We read One Rainy Day by Tammi Salzano and Listen to the Rain, a Rookie Toddler Scholastic board book.
Our theme was watercolors, so I read books on rain and got
to our crafts. For our first craft, we discovered resistant art. I used white
crayon and drew raindrops onto their sheets of white watercolor paper. Then
they used thick paint brushes to paint their paper blue with liquid watercolor.
This made the raindrops appear. The toddlers got a surprise to see the
raindrops and they also had practice holding a paint brush.
Their second craft was experimenting with the watercolor
palette. I put out clothespins with pom poms and they got them wet and then
dipped them into their watercolors. They could paint however they wanted, but
all of these turned out beautiful and with a sunset feel. This gave them a
chance to just play with watercolors. They also could glue on a tulip die-cut to
their paper if they would like.
Afterwards, we had some playtime and the group was so good
with sharing the toys!
This was another fun one!
