Me and My "Real" Hair

Image
By
Last night during a social networking meeting of the minds with other preschool bloggers, my secret was shared. Although, many of you recognize my blog, google id, twitter acct, etc with this wonderful photo from a few years back, This is not my real hair. I'm sorry to disappoint all of you who thought it was.


This photo is my son's favorite family photo. I'm sorry to inform you that I also do not have wild, crazy, tall green hair. However, at the time this photo was taken, my son did have bright fire engine red hair.


I don't have all kinds of crazy tentacles coming out of my head either.
Although, they are quite springy and fun!


I cannot pass for "chocolate thunder," Thing One or Thing Two on a daily basis. Who doesn't want to be called "chocolate thunder?" I mean, seriously....


I'm not really part fish, although I do like to swim.
I think I make a pretty good fish, and I'm really good at singing underwater.


You can get a glimpse of my real hair here. 
I almost always wear it up. It tends to just get in the way when it is down...... 
However, I'm sporting a GREAT pair of googly eyes!


I suppose you could say I'm kind of like a butterfly.... There is a lot of changing going on!


Here is another photo where you can see a glimpse of my "real" hair.

(I really like this one with the butterflies)

In case you were wondering.... this is a more accurate photo of what I "really" look like. On a "normal" day.


But then again, I'm an early childhood educator and a mom.... So, what is normal?
And, the last photo I will share is one where I am swinging.... I love to swing.


Now, I hope you were able to get over the shock and disbelief. 
Please note that on any given day, I may be sporting any or all of the above.
Happy Sunday!

Oh Amy I do love your crazy wigs. Although I have wondered what your real hair looks like, I kind of like the mystery of not knowing too! I get that it isn't really rainbow coloured, although I do think you look great in rainbow! BUT there is no way I am going to believe that Mr. Allan is wearing an orange wig ... no way! I'm SURE that is his real hair!

Amy
You seem to have such a creative, playful personality, reflected in your various "hair".
My truly favourite is the photo of you and the butterflys - lovely.
Wishing you a Happy Sunday!

Our DIY Light Tables

By
There has been a lot of buzz about light tables over at Teach Preschool on Facebook . Deborah has collected some great ideas for light table play and has been experimenting with making her own table over on the Teach Preschool blog.   I thought I would share with you our two light tables and how we made them. This first table is one that we put together with some scrap wood pieces, an old plexi-glass door from an entertainment center, and a couple of aquarium lights. Total Cost = $0. (We had everything on hand.)  The table needs a little bit of tweaking. (It is on my to do list).  Basically, we made a frame of wood around the plexi-glass and placed the lights under it. Our DIY skills in putting this together were far from expert, so the frame has a couple of gaps (and the reused wood is warped). We plan to try a new frame and use some caulk to seal any gaps.  We also plan to attach the lights to the side of the frame instead of just placing them on the f...

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

By
Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...

Yes, WE CLIMB UP THE SLIDE!

By
Yes, we do climb up the slide. We climb up the slide here at Child Central Station in the backyard... We climb up the slides when we are at the park..... and here are a few reasons why we think you could reconsider climbing up and allowing the children in your care to climb up the slide too! 1. Climbing up the Slide uses MUSCLE!  Young children need to be active and climbing up the slide requires a lot of muscle and coordination. It is not an easy feat- and requires strength, concentration, determination, and will power. 2. Climbing up the Slide is RISKY! Yes- climbing up the slide is potentially risky, but so is sliding down! Your job as a caregiver is to carefully observe and monitor the situation, to be close by- but not to interfere unless necessary. Part of a child's learning process must include managing risks- climbing up the slide is a perfect way to practice this skill. 3. Climbing up the Slide involves potential CONFLICT! It ...
