Puncher Pointillism at Ayala Museum
by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 22nd, 2012
From April to May, the Ayala Museum held a bunch of art workshops for the kids. One of these focused on George Seurat’s famous pointillism art! I love how complex and simple this activity can be! So before the actual art activity, a brief intro about George Seurat and pointillism was given. From wikipedia: Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an im...Read More » Tags

Kids love magic, and the fun thing about teaching toddlers is that you DON'T need to know the difficult tricks 'coz it's easy to get things pass them. Now with art, there are also TONS of magic tricks you can do with the kids. A lot of which they can do by themselves! - One favorite is the CRAYON RESIST activity.

Fruit Loop Bracelets
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 31st, 2010
Children.. and even adults love eating fruit loops! So why not use this to further strengthen the lesson? This specific activity is actually a lacing activity that helps develop fine motor skills. It would also be easier for older kids to do since young children’s fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. Still, the end product works for all ages.

The Hungry Caterpillar goes ROUND and COLORFUL
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 27th, 2010
This week, the kiddos are learning all about the circle shape! Shapes are such a fun thing to teach because there's just so many things we can do! Though, we do have to restrict ourselves from doing too much cause we might ran out of activities for future lessons. (hehe) - For our circle activity, we decided to have the children make caterpillars! If you're a kindergarten teacher, I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say there are several w...Read More » Tags
