we had a week of celebrating kansas and nature around us.
we used our fingertips to make the seeds in the center of a sunflower shaped paper.
it is harder than it seems to make our fingers go up and down instead of round and round.

we made preschool-versiona of kansas seals in several steps.
painting (including fingernails for some), pressing on paper shapes, then adding a real wheat sprig.

we used old “kansas barns” calendars as coloring sheets. or as cutting and taping and gluing sheets.

kansas week would not be complete without a wagon ride. much softer and smoother than way back when, but fun. we were taking out show and tell basket on a visit the grandma and grandpa friends.

What fun adventures with “Kansas.”
I have to get some white boards for our class. I think their full of fun. Unfortunatley, it’s one of those purchases I keep putting off til later. Thanks for the reminder.
Hi There,
I really enjoy your site I am a Preschool Teacher in Colorado. Where did you get your containers for your crayons? Also, where did you get the trays that I have seen in past posts (the ones used for art activites)?
Thanks, denise
