Creating green eggs and ham in preschool

The children made their own green eggs and ham as a part of their time in creative art…

The teacher supplied the children with a tub of white glue and shave cream mixed together for the egg whites…

The children glued a piece of foam “green ham” on their paper plate…

Then dipped some “egg white” on their paper plate…

I think it is safe to say that serving the “egg white” on the plate was the favorite part of this activity…

Once the children had a good scoop of egg white, they added a green pompom on top for the egg yolk…

Then they added a fork. Some of the children used tape to hold the fork on the plate and others just set the fork in the glue/shave cream mixture which should hold the fork in place once everything dries overnight…

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
