Hand Turkeys & Swimmy Rings

So I actually thought a little ahead of time for our preschool at home today. We did some crafts in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. They enjoyed reading an online book about Dr. King and coloring a picture of him. We looked at their baby quilts to see how quilts are made of all different fabrics that are put together and then each made paper quilts. We also made a wreath of hands- we traced the boys hands on several different pieces of colorful construction paper and taped them into a wreath. Then James called and I thought the boys could tell him what they'd done so they both proudly said we made "swimmy rings"- K wanted to make some to wear on his feet. I told him I'd done that as a kid and it's not a good idea bc your head ends up at the bottom of the pool and your feet sticking out. C said he liked our hand turkey.After naps, we made MLK Jr pudding- vanilla pudding with all different colored food coloring swirled in- which the boys were excited to eat after dinner. Then we read Elmo's "Red or Blue I like you" for a nite-nite book. I know they don't understand all of what today was about but K did ask to sing "Jesus Loves the Little Children" which is the most important part.
