Fall Printables

I'm in the middle of making different fall and winter printables for classrooms and to use at home. This scarecrow I illustrated last night and I’m so excited about how he came out! 

He is up for sale on Etsy and will soon be on Teachers pay Teachers. You can print him out, creaet a booklet and allow the children to make their own booklets!

I’ll also be illustrating this week, parts of a Christmas tree, snowman, and pumpkin. Spanish versions of these will also be available! All art work is by me. Links below

Fall Work Time!

Don't you just love fall! I know I really do and this is one of my favorite times to create work! Here are a few ideas for you and if you would rather purchase then buy, just go to my Esty Shop.  :)

These items I got from the dollar bins at Target and the Dollar Tree. They are erases but are great for sorting and matching work! Most of this was found in the party section of Target or Party City. I like to use table favors and different small objects!

Piet Mondrian Art for a Montessori Classroom

We have  studied Piet Mondrian in my classroom in the past and I wanted to share a few of the art pieces we did in our art area. Out of the geometric cabinet, I used a large and a medium sized squares. I found a non-copyrighted picture on Google. All I did was type in Piet Mondrian free art for kids, then I just picked one that I thought would work the best. I laminated the picture to make it last longer. The children are able to take the tray with everything on it to the table and complete the work.

Two squares and/or rectangles different sizes
Colored pencils: black, yellow, red, blue
Paper cut in half (8 1/2 by 5 1/2)
Ruler

I found the large blank art piece by Piet Mondrian on Google under Mondrian color pages. Then I just looked up the art piece, colored it accordingly with colored pencils, and I laminated it. I put everything on a tray for the child to have everything available to them.

On another tray, I had primary colored paint and different sized strips of black construction paper. The children able to create their own version of a Mondrian.

If you've tried using logic, consequences, behavior modification, yelling and isolation with your children, all to find out that none of it worked, or even made things worse, you know what it is like to find yourself beyond your window of tolerance. This parenting training can change all of that.
