Circle Time Songs of the Day
Building Cities
(This is a great song to sing during Passover!)
Bang, bang, bang, hold your hammer low.
Bang, bang, bang, give a heavy blow.
For it's work, work, work
every day and every night.
For it's work, work, work
when it's dark and when it's light.
Dig, dig, dig, get your shovel deep.
Dig, dig, dig, there's no time for sleep.

Fine Motor Practice
- Nature Paintbrushes: Make a set of nature paintbrushes and see what designs you can create! Go outside in your backyard and collect lots of interesting pieces of nature and sticks. Look for different patterns and textures you can use. To make the paintbrushes, attach a piece of nature to each stick using an elastic band (or piece of string). Once your paintbrushes are ready, it's time to paint! Lay out a sheet of paper and paints.

Color Mixing on Coffee Filters: All you need are white coffee filters, watercolor markers, and a spray bottle of water. Fold a plain white coffee filter into fourths. Fill the coffee filters with dots, dashes, any kids of decorations using markers. Lay colored and folded coffee filters on scrap paper or paper towels. Allow kids to spray their coffee filters with water. Really spray them as the water needs to soak through all the layers so the color soaks through all the layers. White space is quickly filled in, colors swim together and new colors and shapes are made! Let them dry. When the filters are dry, then unfold them to show the designs you created!
