Calling all Parent & Educators!!!!
I need help. Fair week-(as in state or county fair)-is coming up in 8 weeks and I need to get the lesson plan for it done. 3 big areas I need activities for are:
1. Art
2. Blocks
3. Sensory Table
I need 5 activities for each. Any input is GREATLY appreciated!!!
P.S. I have 25 kids ages 2.5-4 years old

Well, here are some things I do with my class:
1. Art - purple cow project (there's a poem - I met a purple cow - see if you can google it), then have them paint a purple cow (brush or finger paint) and then make purple milk. Lace-up cards are also fun, but that's more fine-motor than art. What about painting with hay? We also do a flag project, which is easy with the Texas flag. Our flag is red, white and blue with a white star. We have the kids tear paper (fine motor/hand muscle development) and make the flag with torn paper scraps...like a collage.
2. Blocks - put some plastic animals with the blocks and have the kids make "stalls" and "barns" for the animals. Lincoln Logs are also good.
3. Sensory - what is in your table right now? I like to put beans (like pintos) in mine and dump in a handful of deer corn. Put kid-tweezers in there and have the kids pick the corn out with the tweezers. Hay is also good (again, like in art). Colored cotton balls and those little paper ketchup cups from fast food places - make "cotton candy" with the tweezers (I'm all about the tweezers in the sensory area, haha).
Other idea - paint with chocolate pudding - MUD! Make pink pigs and then roll them in the "mud"!
I'm sure I've got other ideas, but we've been out of school for a bit now, and I'm in summer vacation mode, hahaha.
