Stained Glass, Playdough Solar Systems, and Crayon Jewels – Preschool and Kindergarten Community

This week we’ve been on break and somehow it just seems to have flown by! There were so many things we wanted to do – but the best part of it was actually getting some ‘rest’ in and just doing nothing but play together and have fun.

Truthfully, those can sometimes be the best weeks!

Here’s a look at what you all have been up to with your kids. Don’t forget to visit a few other sites, say hello, and encourage each other this week!

There are so many great things you could make using this contact paper stained glass idea from Unschool the Teacher. Think of how a leave template would be – or apples of different colors!

Pladough is always something we have on hand. A solar system would be so much fun to let the kids do – and you could always let them mix the colors too! {ooo – such a big no-no in our house – grins}. Natural Beach Living shares their solar system unit and has some fun ideas!

Those poor white crayons usually just have to sit in the box and be lonely. How about working on a resist painting with your kids. See how The Princess, The Pirate, and the Dinosaur made her dinosaurs appear – and she has some other fun dinosaur ideas too!

If your house is anything like mine, there are broken crayons everywhere! This idea for recycling crayons and making them look like jewels = so great! Head over to Sorting Sprinkles to see how they made these gems! {I know…bad pun, but I couldn’t resist!}.

Those are just a few of the great ideas that were linked up to last week’s Preschool and Kindergarten Community. The picture images really helped me out this week – and I hope they did you as well!

Thanks for linking up and sharing your ideas with us!
