Today is the first day of our special Emotions week. I decided to get my preschoolers to form emotions with playdough.
My sister was amazing and made me the face to use for my face border. Once I printed that off I found out that if you trim printer paper a little it fits into a gallon size bag.
Once I placed the paper in the gallon bag I let my preschoolers have fun with the playdough and allowed them to create their faces.
The bags I used did have some problems. The playdough didn’t stick very well to them. I know sone bags are smoother than others so maybe if I tried an off-brand it would stick a little better.
In all it was a great way to talk about feelings with my preschoolers. They understood a lot of different emotions too.
I am the mother of four busy children. I have two preschoolers and two toddlers (though one is only just a toddler). I have a bachelors in University studies with a minor in English and a cluster of child development. This means I was going for school as an English major but then decided that I really didn't want to be going to school until my oldest was two. My original plan was to go for a minor in child development.
My child development classes have helped tremendously with my family life. My oldest child has had some developmental delays, though they still have not diagnosed them.
My busy family life and busy life in general make it necessary that I take some time away to spend some time with my children doing something fun. I want to build a relationship with my kids, and this is done one activity at a time.
