I would love to have the same blocks you are showing on your post!!! I think the Filled Blocks would make a wonderful addition to my early childhood special education classroom!!!! Thanks for all your wonderful information that you share!
The simple shapes puzzle would be a great addition to my 2 year old classrom as well as many of the other puzzles! The kids love puzzles made out of soid materials rather than the plywood types!
Dear Deborah, Do you use site words in your program. If so do you have information to share about the age appropiate and activities to support
Hi, Deborah…love your blog and enjoy getting your ideas thru email. I am teaching 3 year olds 2 mornings a week…could you give me an idea of your daily schedule that you use with 3 year olds? Thank you!
I get asked this question almost every day right now. I will blog about it this next week!
Hi, Deborah….did I miss your blog on this?
Oooh, thanks for the reminder. I think I need to start keeping a calendar or checklist for things I need to blog about.
That is fine…I haven’t figured out how you do all that you do! I am so happy that I found your website this year…thanks for all that you share!
Well sometimes, I do it very well and other times, I get way behind and don’t do anything all that well:)
I’m from Costa Rica, I am a preschool teacher
Your page is excellent, great, congratulations you are a professional excelelnte. I enjoyed every resource and thought I found. Increasingly wanted to find more ideas for my classes and professional projects in education.
thank you very much and continue with your successes

iii lovveee yourr stuff woww keep up the good work i love it its very creative
Thank you Dosie – I will do my very best:)
Hi Deborah-I just happened across your site and am so grateful that I did! I have one silly questions; where did you get the large pan/platter that you use for your magnetic manipulatives? It’s exactly what I’m looking for!
That is not a silly question at all! It is actually an oil catcher or oil pan like you find in the auto store or auto section at Walmart. I painted my pan with metal spray paint so it would have a little color and not just be silver. Some have told me that you can purchase them at Walmart for $10.
Brilliant! Thanks so much. Guess where I’m headed today….. To the local pizza shop for pizza boxes, and to Walmart for a couple of magnet pans. I’ve seen so many blogs etc with preschool ideas but nothing like yours.
I absolutely love that most of your ideas center around recyclables or easily accessible objects instead of purchasing the latest and greatest toys etc. I love simple and inexpensive ideas. It seems to make it more fun and unexpected for my pre-k kiddo’s too.
God has obviously blessed you with a talent for teaching little ones. Thank you so much for your time in sharing your ideas with the world.
I’m a major fan!
Darcie
Sounds like you have a few fun projects to keep you busy:)
Deborah,
I saw you mentioned “Math Bags” at the end of this blog. I have not yet heard about these. What are they and what activities do you do with them?
Love your website. I receive ideas from you daily. I teach 3 and 4 year olds. Would love a chance to try the Luna tool.
Wow, just ran across your blog, packed full of ideas and activities. Wonder if you recommend any of your posts/pages for parents of pre-school kids interested in violin (or other music) lessons.
I frequently get requests from young parents to start their 3 to 5 year olds on violin, but the kids often need help with fine motor skills, coordination of hands, repetition of rhythms, physical robustness, etc.
Thanks for the great site!
Hey I was just wondering where you got your house sponges from or if they were made. I love that idea and am thinking of doing that activity on my travel theme this summer.
I think we made those Jen:) Look for nice sponges without the scratchy on it!
The alphabet program sounds great. I read that children learn 20% of what they see, 50% of what they see and hear, and a whopping 90% of what they see, hear and do. So, after teaching pre-k for over 25 years I’m excited to give this a try. Hope I win! THank you!!

Love, love, love the Guidecraft toys and furniture. One toy/manipulative I especially like is the Feel & Find. I would love to get this for all the classes in my center. There are so many uses for this toy and it can address so many different skills in addition to the game of feeling for the pieces in the bag– the pieces can be matched to the cutout frames, they can be used for a memory game, learning colors, transition activities, …..
For my grandchildren, I’d love to get the kitchen helper step stool! I’ve never seen that before — it’s great! So often I am preparing meals with one of them with one arm wrapped around her back so she doesn’t fall off the chair! (and I’m assuming it would support my weight for reaching those high shelves!).
I just love those magneato blocks! Actually, I love all of the Guildecraft toys and furniture. I teach three different groups and I think my young 2′s as well as my older 3′s would find very creative and imaginative ways to play with the blocks.
I have to also say that I love your blog! I have been teching preschool for a long time and it is so great to get some new and interesting ideas to try. I have used so many ideas, I look forward to reading each days blog!
So this is what you’ve been up to! Sorry, I take that back you’re obviously on holidays from Preschool although you’d never know it!
I guess I only figured it out when I noticed the lack of posts on Facebook from you. You see I always look forward to yours the most because that’s the area I want to be in. Who’d have thought I’d ever find you by myself on G+1!
Computers & I don’t mix very well & I’m only finding my feet here, I was used to gmail classic but they gave me no choice in switching. Enjoy the rest of your holidays, talk soon,

Dear Deborah,
I am a college student in my practicum semester before student teaching. I work in a classroom with students with multiple disabilities. Last month, I had the kids make the slime. They LOVED it! It is still quite colorful even after all this time. However, it is still very wet and runny. I’ve added a bunch of liquid starch and have rinsed off each child’s slime in water. I can’t seem to get the slime to gel up and form to where they can play with it consistently. I also used the clear Elmer’s glue as I think it would look better. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You,
Ray Lenz
Hi Ray,
Let the slime sit out in the air a bit – like 30 minutes or longer. I find as the slime sits out and the children play with it – just after we make it- it starts to firm up. Once the slime starts to break down and get sticky again, I usually have to throw it away.
Hello Deborah
I am one of your fans just wanna say you are very dedicated teacher.
I have a question how did you make your inch worm activity measurment ruler?
Thank You
Best Regards
Sara
Hi Sara,
I used Microsoft Word and just drew lines with the drawing tools to make the rulers. They are not a perfect inch but they got the idea across. Hope this helps:)
