The Crayola Experience

There is not educator around that hasn't heard of Crayola! We love the bright colors, the smell of the new box, and the beauty thats produced with their awesome products. Yesterday I took a mini field trip to the Crayola Experience at the mall near my house. Here's a sneak peek at what I found.

This area is called "Pick your pack". You can literally get a bucket, tin or box and fill it with your favorite colors for your writing center. 

                      Markers galore!













And crayons in every color!



                                                 

There was merchandise for purchase. 

And the products can be found in each stage of development. Here's the merchandise section for infants and toddlers. 

It was only after we were leaving that I discovered I actually hadn't experienced anything! I had only visit the gift shop that comes AFTER the Crayola Experience! I look forward to going back soon and giving you a tour of the actual Experience. 

But for now, happy creating!

The Wonderful World of Writing in Preschool

We have a table designated for writing only.  On any given day there may be pens, markers, crayons, note pads, or envelopes for the kids to explore. However, writing is not exclusively for our "Writing Table" only. Here are some other ways we explore the wonderful world of writing.

We use shaving cream on the tables to practice our letters. 

We use sidewalk chalk to be creative. 

The white board provides a smooth easy to wipe surface. 

Making name tags provide great detail and concentration.

Whatever the medium, surface, or opportunity it's worth it to explore the wonderful world of writing.
