Preschool Playdate

Yesterday was my day with the Three Musketeers. They are learning about the letter C this week at school so I wanted to extend the fun! It was like my old school preschool days with C. Our house is smaller than the other kids so if I don't schedule stuff out they run amuck which I regret due to the mess.

From 11:00-11:30 they had free playtime. This is the exact right amount of time, minimal fighting and mess!

11:30-11:50 We made a corn craft!  It's basically a simple fine motor activity but we just listened to music and chatted. It was fun.

And hey, corn starts with C!

From 11:55-12:15 We had some gross motor time and they did Cosmic Kids Yoga. Cracker the Dragon. Well, I made lunch. They did yoga. 

12:15-12:30 They ate their C lunch! Chicken nuggets, Cheetos, Carrots and Chocolate Milk. 

12:30-1:00 They played Cloud Dough. They loved it. Seriously, any sensory activity works for this age. We did water beads last time. I will have to plan something awesome for next week!

1:00-1:15 We worked on a Cat Craft! 

1:15-1:30 We had a cotton ball race. You use a straw to blow a cotton ball across the room. This activity went from fun to frustrating back to fun. 

Everyone got a Chocolate Coin as a prize no matter which place they were in. 

1:30-2:00 We played cool games. (This is a stretch for C but they like to play games and any time they have to take turns and practice sportsmanship is good for them!) We played Spot-It. M is getting so good at it. It's a real favorite here. 

We also played Shark Bite and then the kids got to play for just a while before we went back to school. 

It was a wonderful day!
