preschool conversations: what does a bunny say?

Students: "Ribbit! Ribbit!"

Me: "Boys and girls, that's what a frog sounds like! What sound does a bunny make?"

Students: "Hop, hop, hop!"

We made these bunny masks today in class. Man, four-year-olds are cute. I wish I could upload a photo of them, but you know, privacy. You'll just have to believe me when I say they were adorable.

bouncy ball valentines.

I made these valentines last year for a few special people. Although they're meant for kids, I figured grown-ups would like them, too. There's a little kid in all of us, right? If not, there should be, and a bouncy ball might be just the thing to make someone's eyes twinkle. 

The "have a ball" valentine is perfect for anyone you want to wish a happy Valentine's Day to, while "you make my heart bounce" is a fun take on a love note. 

You can find the simple tutorial and free downloadable template here.

Let me know if you make them, whether it's for your children or the older "kids" in your life!
