Our preschool day landed on St Patrick's Day so we combined the holiday with R is for Rainbow. There are so many fun activities to do with both themes and I only had one day to do them but I plan on doing more of these with my son throughout the week. Here's the plan for our 3 hour preschool group (but not necessarily in this order):
Gathering: Lucky clover rainbow necklaces
While they worked on these I helped each individually make a 4 leaf clover hand print
Books:
Game: Pot of Gold (Played like hot potato but with a pot of gold chocolate coins)
This link also has some great St Patty's Day printables
Art: Suncatchers
Easy paint rainbows (this is a maybe)
Science: This is something I will probably just do with my son on our own because I think it would be quite a mess with 6 preschoolers and my infant. But I know he will like it.
Rainbow Jar
Magic Rainbows and Magic Milk Rainbows
Snack: Rainbow fruits and veggies; Rainbow goldfish
Optional: Edible rainbow playdough
I also want to do these this week:
Color Hunt
Planting a rainbow: http://wildflowerramblings.com/homeschooling/planting-rainbow-literature-science-learning/
Rainbow art collages
Rainbow transperencies
Great printables for practicing letters
