It's getting close to Christmas time and my preschoolers are getting very excited. In our centers room I created an ice skating rink with laminated white paper and plastic coated paper plates for skates. I also set up a concession stand with hot cocoa and warm pretzels for the kids.
In the classroom we had a little Christmas magic. At the beginning of the day the kids planted peppermint candy in a cup of marshmallows and we set them by the window to grow. By lunch they had grown into small candy canes and by the end of the day they were full grown candy canes!
We talked about God's creation and how He gave us everything we need to grow. This was just a simple, fun example of how that works. It was so much fun watching the kids excitement as they watched their candy canes grow! I let the parents in on our fun!
The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
Psalm 92:12-13
