Milk Jug Decorative Window Crafts. Jun30 by Lindsey Boardman We’re always looking for cheap or– better yet– free materials to craft with here, so we’ve played around with crafting all sorts of things out of those big plastic gallon milk jugs over the last couple of years. The type of plastic they are made from is pretty versatile as far as crafting goes. You can cut it easily with scissors, use hole punches on it, stick it with hot glue and best of all you can draw on it with permanent markers with great results due to it being semi-opaque and mildly textured on one side.
Milk Jug Window Art Then I used a sturdy pair of scissors to cut out any flat side panels from the milk jug plastic. If you have really little kids then you could cut them simple shapes to scribble colors on like hearts or flowers or circles etc, or even the letters of their name.

I had never thought about making Montessori number rods until I discovered some amazing examples online. For a homeschool, I would probably purchase the regular-size pink tower, brown stair, and red rods to give the child an accurate sensorial impression of size. Of course, if you’re very crafty, even those can be made by hand. But I don’t think following the traditional Montessori number-rod size is as important.
There are many different options that work well for number rods. There are some inexpensive options for small number rods or very inexpensive versions of DIY number rods. If you want yours to look like the traditional Montessori number rods, number rods won’t be an easy material to make.

Clothesline Names. The color game in preschool. This is a little game we made for our preschoolers to have fun working on color recognition… First we made a little cube and put a different color on each side – red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple. Then we cut out 6 large circles from construction paper and laminated them… The object of the game was to roll the color cube and then stand on the color of circle that matches the color facing up on the cube… The children made up their own rules of the game as they played… The objectives of the game took on different twists and turns… The game was played on the floor and on the table… All kinds of accessories were added to the game… This would be a good example of an “open ended” game!

I thought it would be fun to have a more structured play time with him because I realized that there were some things I wanted to be sure that I taught him before he started Kindergarten. I typed up 45 of my favorite preschool songs and laminated them. There are some Sunday School favorites Some songs that I remember from our little elementary school music class And my favorites from our library's children's reading time.
