New Songs: Part of the body and numbers

Good Morning Bloggers!!! 

Today I'm going to talk about new songs for children. Kids love songs, rythm, music and movement so it's great to sing and dance with them while we learn English! 

These are the songs we can use  to practise the numbers and parts of the body.

I hope they sing and dance them again at home!

See you soon!!!

Arts and Crafts: Food and Paint.

Hii Bloggers!!!

We know that Kids love doing crafts and they love food. 

Here's an opportunity for them to combine two of their favorite things! 

This activity not only allows kids to get creative, it also helps them learn about all of the natural color around them.

What You Need:

• Foods for painting (dry mustard, paprika, cocoa, blackberries, curry, beets, red currants and more)
• Watercolor paper
• Water
• Paintbrushes
• Muffin tin
• Spoons
• OPTIONAL: measuring cup or medicine dropper

  What You Do:

1. Ask your child to tell you his favorite colors. Write down the colors he names and explain that instead of using crayons or markers, you're going to make the same colors using food.
2. Go to the market! Pick out color-rich foods like the ones listed above. Show them to your child and discuss the color of each item. Tell your child that you are going to use the dyes in the foods to make your own paint. Have him predict what colors he can create using each food item.
3. Place a small sample of each food item in a compartment of the muffin tin. For example, place some paprika in one compartment and place some cocoa in a different compartment.
4. Just add water! Using a measuring cup or medicine dropper, help your child add a little water at a time. Use the spoon to mix the food into a paint-like consistency.
5. Using his paintbrush, have your child create an original piece of artwork. Anything goes, from still lifes to abstract art. Remind him to use a different brush for each color of paint or rinse the brushes before using a different color.
6. For a neat twist, try experiencing this activity as a pioneer. Help your child to make his own paintbrushes using pine boughs, assorted grass blades, or feathers. Have him to paint a picture with his natural paintbrush and natural paints.

Arts and Crafts: Pig Noises

Hi Bloggers!!!

Today we are going to make pig noises. Pig noses are adorable decorations made from recycled egg cartons. Each pig nose has a custom-designed personality depending on how it's accessorized. This is a great exercise for little ones to practice fine motor skills.

         What You Need:

• Recycled egg carton
• Pink Tempera or acrylic paint
• Googly eyes
• Glue
• Pink construction paper
• Markers
• Decorating Materials: chenille sticks, raffia, yarn, sequins, etc.

         What You Do:

1. Help your child cut out individual cups from the egg crates. Cut out as many cups as she would like to make pig noses.
2. Have her paint all of the cups with pink paint. Allow to dry completely.
3. Ask her to cut out two pink triangles for her pig's ears and glue them in place from behind.
4. She can now glue on the googly eyes to create a personality for the pig nose.
5. Have her create unique features for her pig nose. We used chenille sticks twisted and cut for glasses, a construction paper bow, and raffia glued on for hair. 

Goodbye!!!

Learn English Kids

Hi Bloggers!


This week we've started learning new songs and dances and I wanted to share a very nice website with you.

We have already talked about Learn English Kids before, but this time I want to highlight their song section.

The videos are very instructive and fun and the songs are accompanied by subtitles so they are easier to follow and learn. Plus! Children can learn the dances by wacthing the cartoons on the screen, so it's basically perfect. 

I hope you find it useful!!!

Gooodbye
