This workshop will give you creative ideas for crafts projects and activities for preschoolers plus ideas for older children. The areas of discussion will include how you can use crafts to support concepts, seasonal crafts that do not reflect religious beliefs, and activities in which you can use your craft projects. The emphasis for this workshop will be on the development of age appropriate inexpensive musical instruments, activities, and songs that you can take into your classroom. You do not need to have a musical background or play an instrument to greatly benefit from this workshop. In this workshop, you will get great new ideas for getting children involved in gardening and learning about plants.
