Pizza Pizza!

Kaitlyn (4) started preschool this year for the first time. For her first homework assignment, her teacher gave her this slice of "pizza" (the white triangle) and told her to decorate it like a pizza. 

We talked about all of the things we could do to decorate it. Kaitlyn's favorite pizza is cheese pizza, so she wanted to make a cheese pizza. We decided shredded paper would be fun. I shredded up several pieces of paper. Then she put glue on the pizza and pressed the shredded paper on. 

For toppings, you could use buttons, felt, magazine cut-outs, pipe cleaner, etc.--whatever you can think up. It was a fun project that brought in some sensory activity to it. 

Watermelon Crepe Paper Pic

My son brought this activity home from preschool (above, age four) and Kindergarten (below, age five). I figured if it is good enough for both teachers, it is good enough to post here!

Supplies Needed:

• paper
• red crepe paper
• green crepe paper
• black marker/paint OR actual watermelon seeds

Activity:

1. Draw a half circle for your child. If your child is able, have him cut it out. If not, you cut it out.
2. Draw a line to divide the flesh from the rind.
3. Have your child tear or cut red crepe paper to glue in the flesh section.
4. Have your child tear or cut green crepe paper to glue for the rind section.
5. Glue on seeds or add black paint dots for seeds.
