That puff paint recipe is fun and easy; just put it in a Ziploc bag and snip a small section of the corner and pipe it like you would decorate a cake. You can color the glue and use it to make snow flakes or write your name. It's fun!Linda O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982895073903619018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-72943372717212125822010-11-30T20:56:33.558-06:002010-11-30T20:56:33.558-06:00ioux,

Today we made 3-D shapes, and since kids today don't do much cutting with scissors, some of the cones had rounded, sphere-like faces, and some of the pyramids resembled birds in flight.<br /><br />I can't wait to see how they turned out...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-13572503155357997172010-11-30T09:39:28.151-06:002010-11-30T09:39:28.151-06:00Aw, I always liked the Gingerbread Man!

I'm always amazed when I meet grown kids who're clueless on references to the classics. They didn't have a great preschool teacher like you, I guess.:-)Cathy C.
