Cardboard Sculptures
My preschool itty bitties recently visited the sculpture garden outside the National Gallery (a perk of living near DC!), and so we reviewed what they saw on their trip. We've talked about sculpture before and they learned the sculpture song. So these little ones can tell you exactly what a sculpture is.
They made cardboard sculptures out of egg cartons, paper rolls, odd cardboard packing materials, and scrap cardboard. The next week they painted the sculptures.
The little girl on the left of this video, had the sculpture song stuck in her head and sang it repeatedly. I got so tickled. She was happy to let me film as she sang.

First Printmaking Experience
Beware. I am singing in this video. And the "song" might get stuck in your head. I make up songs for my preschoolers that help them remember small concepts.
Note, the first person singing the tune in the video isn't me. I'm just joining in.
My preschoolers are doing their second printing lesson with me and I am trying to get them to remember that a print is a copy.
To do this lesson you need this:
and this:
I got the idea from The Crafty Crow blog who got it from the Daisy Yellow blog. The kids loved it and left the room singing.

Paintbrush Song
A preschool teacher just appeared at my door asking if I minded her teaching the kids my "Happy Paintbrush" song. I forgot I even made up that song. I need to collect these things!
If you're teaching preschool or even kindergarten, you might sing this ditty to keep those brushes from the dreaded "pencil hold."
Sing to the tune of London Bridges…and demo the position a "happy paintbrush" would take...

Happy paint brush stands straight up
Stands straight up
Stands straight up
Happy paint brush stands straight up.
All day long.
This song will make you nuts….haunt you in your dreams….but the kids love it.
