Show and Share

I was really surprised to find out how much time commitment preschool requires. I kind of thought, you drop them of, they have a great fun day of playing, learning and making friends, and then you take them home. Turns out there are all kinds of volunteer opportunities and other activities that just can't be skipped. Otherwise, the only one that suffers is that same sweet kid, who is full of life and excitement about all the little things that seem mundane to us adults, yet are eye opening experiences to him.

With that said, every week is "show and share" day. A theme is selected by the teachers that is in line with the topics covered that month, and each kid has to bring something related to the theme. My child gets very excited about "show and share" day, so I have to make sure he has something to bring. This week the theme is Stars. Of course the homework lies primarily with the parents, to find that item that matches the theme. After going over everything in the house, I realized, that surprisingly, we have nothing with stars, or stars of any kind. As a result, Mommy crafting skills to the rescue. Since I can't do everything for him, I did everything to the point where he can take over. Thankfully, all supplies were on  hand:
-scissors...Check
-construction paper...Check
-origami paper...Check
-popsicle stick...Check
-elmer's glue stick...Check

The result, a future star is born...

All that's left is for him to glue it all together.
