I was really excited to put on my first Grinch program and
am happy that it went so well and was a part of the Preschool Picasso program.
There were so many cute Grinch crafts and ideas, but I knew I wanted to keep
the reoccurring theme of one craft using paint and the other being somewhat
unique to the other. We read a Grinch book and did our two crafts.
For our book, I read I'm the Grinch by Dennis Shealy. This
is one of the newer Grinch books that are out and was a perfect length for a
quick story for preschoolers. We talked a little bit about the Grinch and Dr.
Seuss and of our favorite characters. This book told us about the Grinch and
how he doesn't like Christmas, but of course it ends cute.
Our first Grinch craft was making a happy Grinch using a
pre-cut paper plate and shapes. They enjoyed painting his face and I added some
white paint to the green so they could color blend and get a lighter green
color for our favorite holiday character.
Our second craft was making a grumpy Grinch mask. We colored
our masks and added a Popsicle stick so we could pretend to be him. I was
pleased to see parents taking pictures of the kids holding up their masks and
other project.
Merry Grinchmas!
