One educational element I never used with my sons while they were toddler/preschool age is sensory bins.

Since we are currently learning about apples, I put together thisApple Orchard Sensory Binfor her.

Apple Sensory Bin

Create apple trees

The apple trees are also a fun activity.

I made the trees by cutting out a tree shape from my green foam sheets.

I used our red, green and yellow glitter poms for the apples.

These trees also couple as a way to act out the Ten Red Apples book.

I definitely got a huge smile of approval on our first sensory bin!

I am so excited to use them this year in our home preschool!

This fun space shuttle paper craft is a great summer craft for kids or for school to accompany a solar system unit. The space shuttle wing popping off the page gives this paper craft a fun 3D effect to it. The space shuttle craft would look great up on display on a classroom bulletin board with a blasting off theme.
