Welcome to a new week of playful preschool! This weeks theme is flowers.
Check the bottom of this post for more flower theme ideas and follow #playfulpreschool on social media.
For our flower explorations I decided to do some art with the kids. I have also been dying to dry the new ink pad out!
This weeks playful preschool is very on the simple and easy side. All you need is some paper, a pen and some ink or paint.
Ask your preschooler to draw you a beautiful flower garden and wait and see what happens!
The stamp pad pictured is the Fingerprint Artists Stamp Pad.
My almost 3 year old made a garden of beautiful tiny little flowers. And my just turned 6 year old made me a garden with flowers a rainbow and a caterpillar who was eating an apple. A hungry caterpillar book fan 😉
Giving my children the choice of what flowers to make was much fun to watch. Most times when we do art I just let them at it. They sometimes create such interesting works!
