Those areas are the “editable areas”. They will print with a white background when you print!

Our preschoolers love to imitate us and "play school" even when they are in school!Librarian as a theme? Absolutely! In a world of PDF files and E-books, we have the opportunity to introduce children to books and their home- the Library! Most of us have a library in our preschools, and now we can introduce them to our local librarians and teach what a wonderful resource our librarians are!

Flubber Instructions

On the following page, you’ll find the recipe for Flubber. You’ll also find rebus/picture, cards.

Provide the ingredients in separate bowls and place the correct rebus card (printed and laminated so you can use them again) in front of each ingredient.

Give each child their own cup to work with.

The children should work together (teaching each other) how to read the instruction cards. When they are done using it, have each child print their name on a ziplock baggie to save it for tomorrow’s “Flubber Use Day“.

Flubber Recipe Ingredients: You’ll need 2 bowls, 2 tablespoons, 1 teaspoon, paper cups (1 for each child) and craft sticks (to use as mixers), white glue and water. Place the items in the following order on a table:• Place bottles of glue on the table. In front of the glue place a tablespoon and a card that

reads “Add 2” next to the spoon.• Place water in a bowl. In front of the bowl, place a tablespoon and one of the cards that

reads “Add 2” in front of the bowl.• Place the food coloring bottles next on the table.• Place a card that reads “Mix” next on the table.• Place a collection of craft sticks next on the table.• Place the Borax solution (see below) in a bowl. In front of the bowl, place a teaspoon and a

card that reads “Add 2”.• Place a card that reads “mix” next on the table

The children use each ingredient in order.1. They add 2 tablespoons of white glue.2. They add 2 tablespoons of water. 3. They add 1 drop of food coloring and mix.4. They use a craft stick to mix it all together.5. They add 2 teaspoons of the borax solution and mix again.The solution will clump together. If it does not, add a bit more of the Borax solution. They can then lift out the ball of flubber and knead it with their hands.*Borax solution: Stir 1 Tbsp. (15 mg) of Borax soap detergent into 1 c (250 ml) of warm water until dissolved. © The Preschool Cubby www.preschool-plan-it.com

The child should find their name tag and place it in the folder.Now have them search through the bin for the matching letters of their name and place them on or under their name card.The children should then count how many letters are in their name.

Have them find that number from the number basket. activity will help children to recognize their names in print, individual letters and how to count rationally.

For children not quite ready for this type of letter recognition activity:Provide many small cups. Encourage the children to sort the letters that are the same into cups. Looking at and exploring letters is a great way to develop letter recognition skills!
