Kentucky Derby Horses Jill G. shares an activity that enhances creative art, language skills and the finished stick horses can be used outdoors for relay races. Yard sticks stapler, markers, construction paper, glue, newspapers, yarn. Teachers draw a basic horses head. Then children cut it out and draw the face. Glue on yarn for the mane and then stuff them with newspapers and staple them to the yardstick.
Children now have their own stick horse.
Many companies have donated yardsticks. In which preschool children purchase food needed to cook vegetable soup. We went to the grocery store nearby and let children look for and purchase the ingredients for vegetable beef soup. The items had to be bought with a purchase order but the children still got to place the food on the conveyor and see the items rung up. We took pictures of the trip and mounted them on a board for the parents to see.
