Creative Thinking
One project that I did with the three year olds was taking cookie cutters (stars, circles, trianlges,
etc.) and letting the children trace them with the chalk out on the
black top, where the playground is. Afterwards, the children would say
what shapes they made. The children had fun using the chalk and liked
learning what shape they made. the children were really excited when
they finished.
Another project was with lids off of baby food
pouches. I collected two different color lids (green and red) and then
made a tic tac toe board with pencils and let the children play tic tac
toe with the lids. One child was one color and the other child was the
other color. After explaining to the children that they have to get
three of their color in a row (showed them what a row was and how many
ways they can play it). Some of the children got the concept and
enjoyed playing, others were not as into it but the children that were
had fun trying to get their colors in a row and would get really excited when they won.
