P is for Party

On January 5th, I first let the kids watch how the hot air popper popped popcorn for the party.

The kids said they didn't like the plain popcorn, but it was still hard to stop them from eating it! (Great crazy face, Christian! You always do your best to not look boring in the pictures!)

We started our party with a craft: paper plate penguins.

We then played "place the party hat on the person"

and "drop the puppy in the pot".

Here we are enjoying our snack of pink popcorn and punch!

We made the three little pigs and the big bad wolf as popsicle stick puppets. The pigs had pompom noses and the wolf had pipe cleaner arms.

We didn't get to it during preschool, but later Christian helped me place pennies on the new year!

On the 27th we learned about the letter P. We also got a surprise outside, a snowstorm during preschool! We started off playing with pumkin pie playdough. It was hard getting them to put it away and move on to our next activity!

Next, we printed some pumpkins with potatoes and paint to make placemats.

While those dried, we pressed out some pizza dough,

put on the sauce,

and placed the cheese and pepperoni to make them look like pumpkins!

As they baked and cooled, the kids beaded pipe cleaner pumpkins.

For a poem, we did the five little pumpkins fingerplay. Then it was time for snack and the kids loved how these turned out!

We read LOTS of pumpkin and Halloween books and then made paper bag puppy puppets,

and adorable paper plate pandas.

The kids then drew faces on their pumpkins and I laminated them in my handy pouch laminator. Next time I think I'll add some green vines to them, but they still turned out cute.
