I found a great idea on Pinterest that I couldn't wait to make. Tonight I headed over to the local home improvement store and I picked up the paint chips and clothes pins I would need to make this activity. I made four sets so that I can put them out at center time. I put a quick mark of color on the back of the clip-each set has a different colored mark, so that I can tell the sets apart if the kids happen to get their clips mixed up. It should be great as a color and sorting activity, as well as great for strengthening their fine motor skills! I'm going to use it on Monday, so I hope it works!
I've been teaching young children for over 15 years. As I teach I get inspired to try new things every year. Some of them are my own creations and others come from something I've seen or done. I've created this blog as a place to share the things that I am doing in my preschool. I hope you can find inspiration for yourself, somewhere on this blog!
