Lil' Miss Smarty Pants was created to share activities (mostly crafts!!) you can do with your own kids or in a teaching setting...almost all of the activities use simple everyday items that are found in most homes with kiddos. We have spent a lot of time looking for fun activities that also have teaching/learning value, and several years trying them out with our preK class. Here are our favorites!!

Rainbows...

Here is a fun Rainbow craft that can be used for the weather unit or the "R" unit.  We showed the kids some pictures of a few different crafts and let them choose a couple, and they LOVED this one.


You're going to need to cut out some white clouds out of white construction paper or just out of print paper.  
Cut red, orange, yellow blue, green, and purple strips out of construction paper.
Gather a bunch of cotton balls!!!!

First...glue the strips to the back of the cloud:




After they get the strips glued on and their names written...turn the cloud over and let them glue the cotton balls onto the front of the cloud:




I think this is one of the cutest crafts we've done...and it was easy.  AND...the kids loved it.  BONUS!

"R" is for rabbit


For our unit on the letter "R" we thought it would be fun to create rabbits out of "r's."


This one takes a little prep...you're going to need:
Pink construction paper
cut outs of the letter "R"
white pipe cleaner for the whiskers
cotton balls for the tail
pink circles for the nose
White outer ears
pink inner ears
Googly eyes


Voila!!
