It’s completely silent and concentration is total. All focus is on carving the stick, sliver by sliver, on carefully evening out the edges of the piece of wood. Is it going to be a bark boat? A barbecue stick? Or maybe even a magic wand? A stick is not a stick! Working with a vegetable peeler and a stick can give long moments of pleasure. It gives adult and children alike an almost meditative feeling of being in the present. As always when working with a vegetable peeler one needs to have respect for the tool, both adults and children alike. When I carve wood together with children, we need to be aware of what we do with the tool, how we carve and how we behave. Safety is #1 priority!! #creativejourneyspreschool #twistinfamilychildcare #earlyed #changingtheworld #handsonlearning #howtheylearn #steam #preschool #education #teaching #play #playbasedlearning #inquirybasedlearning #parentsofinstagram #preschoolsofinstagram #reggioinspiredpreschool #progressiveeducation #developmentalacademics #families #parents #qualitystartoc #inquirybasedlearning #learningthroughplay https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTQHUphOlY/?igshid=rnvj2hnn0pof

Kids love to play outside and explore nature! I love when the children spend quiet moments creating that has a lovely process and is full of creativity. I also love when that art happens to turn out breathtakingly beautiful! #creativejourneyspreschool #twistinfamilychildcare #earlyed #changingtheworld #handsonlearning #howtheylearn #steam #preschool #education #teaching #play #playbasedlearning #inquirybasedlearning #parentsofinstagram #preschoolsofinstagram #reggioinspiredpreschool #progressiveeducation #developmentalacademics #families #parents #qualitystartoc #natureplay #urbannature #learningthroughplay #designthinking #sustainable #earlylearning https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJA00cBQsK/?igshid=vryw5v59tgd6

Learning Together / Doing Together  Margaret Thatcher once famously said to a volunteer group: True companionship comes not from being together, but from doing together. One of the most effective Preschool ways of doing together is to invite young children to learn together. Companionship comes not from being together, but from doing together. #creativejourneyspreschool #twistinfamilychildcare #earlyed #changingtheworld #handsonlearning #howtheylearn #steam #scienceinaction #engineering #earlylearning #twistinfamilychildcare #learningthroughplay #reggioinspiredpreschool #progressiveeducation #developmentalacademics #families #parents #qualitystartoc #inquirybasedlearning #preschoolsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGYYoQBbDZ/?igshid=vmqfy42gulzy

Sharing experiences! I shared my painting experience at @pinotstustin @wonderschool with my group of children. They were very eager to try their own "Turtle Painting". I helped with drawing the turtle shape with a pencil. They went to town with tracing with a sharpie and watercolor paint on watercolor rectangles. It was a really great experience as each were different yet the same! Great learning opportunities! #creativejourneyspreschool #twistinfamilychildcare #earlyed #changingtheworld #handsonlearning #howtheylearn #creativity #preschool #reggioinspiredpreschool #progressiveeducation #developmentalacademics #families #parents #qualitystartoc #inquirybasedlearning #preschoolsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDmIwEhbce/?igshid=1dcnlnbe9y307

Exploring 2D and 3D Shapes today! The children have always been interested in shapes so why not add some formal language to describe similarities, differences, parts (number of sides and vertices - corners) and other attributes. It's a great way to for them to explore the relationship between numbers and quantity! All through play and provocation! I wonder how they will respond! #creativejourneyspreschool #twistinfamilychildcare #earlyed #changingtheworld #handsonlearning #howtheylearn #steam #scienceinaction #engineering #earlylearning #reggioinspiredpreschool #progressiveeducation #preschool #education #teaching #play #developmentalacademics #designthinking #sustainable #resources #inspiration #parenting #families #letthembesmall #preservingchildhood #familychildcare #preschoolsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkTw1PhV9N/?igshid=wcyhbl29kdmb

When we set up play experiences/ provocations with intentionality, we transform the experience from pure play into developmental academics. Learning about 2D and 3D through block play! #creativejourneyspreschool #twistinfamilychildcare #earlyed #changingtheworld #handsonlearning #howtheylearn #steam #scienceinaction #engineering #earlylearning #reggioinspiredpreschool #progressiveeducation #handsonlearning #howtheylearn #math #sequence #experiences #letthembesmall #provocations #constructivist #preservingchildhood #familychildcare #parents #qualitystartoc #inquirybasedlearning #preschoolsofinstagram @lakeshorelearning @QualityStartOC https://www.instagram.com/creativejourneyspreschool/p/BxayVRYBSrx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kolu1xq7pghw

"It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to…The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.” – Vincent van Gogh #creativejourneyspreschool #twistinfamilychildcare #earlyed #changingtheworld #handsonlearning #howtheylearn #natureobservation #urbannature #learningthroughplay #playbasedlearning #inquirybasedlearning #parentsofinstagram #preschoolsofinstagram #earlylearning #steam #ece #children #reggioinspiredpreschool #progressiveeducation #developmentalacademics #families #parents https://www.instagram.com/creativejourneyspreschool/p/BxAaLvsBeR-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wkzgbrfmesfo
