On the 30th of each month, I blog over at PreKandK Sharing. 
This is a collaborative effort involving a number of early childhood professionals. 

This past month, I shared a bunch of ways in which We LOVE Paint! Then, I asked (you) the readers to link up ways in which you paint or recipes for homemade paint. There are now over 100 ways to paint listed!!!
I KNOW THERE ARE MORE IDEAS OUT THERE!

Do you have a great painting post, or idea for painting? 
The linky is open for another couple of weeks! (2/29/2012)

Some of my favorite so far include:

Amy..... you did such an amazing job in your initial article over at PreK+K on all things paint -- which stirred up my response. I'm so glad that you were the springboard for further conversation thru my first 'op-ed' piece.

The response has been amazing. So glad that you gave me the catalyst for further discussion! Thanks for holding my hand as I got further out there on the ledge.

I've added my two articles that are specific to the educator's response in your linky.

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). 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...

Xylophones and Outdoor Music (Originally posted May 2010)

By
These posts were originally published  in May of 2010. Our music area has been updated quite a bit since then, but it will give you some basic instructions for creating the xylophone. I've wanted to make an outdoor area for music for quite some time.  We had a new fence installed around the play area, and my thought was to put a HUGE xylophone on the fence, like the one we saw mounted on the wall at the U.P. Children's Museum.   However, after being inspired with additional ideas for an outdoor area through following Teach Preschool on Facebook, we have opted to create an entire section of our outdoor play space to making music! The first project for our Music area was a Giant Xylophone. Here are a few photos as we worked to put it together. This photo is of our temporary installation. Due to the size of the xylophone, we need to reinforce it with wood, as the string is not strong enough to account for gravity. The xylophone is made out of scrap 2x4 pieces...
