Joy School

Since moving to the small town that we now live in, and going down to one car for the time being (and because Mike having to have surgery kind of sadly sucked the little nest egg we had set back for another car) I have had to re-evaluate pre-school plans for Collin. I know next year we will have a second car, so we will be putting him in a formal pre-school, but for now, something had to be done.  So I was beyond excited when a really funny gal in our new ward, asked if I was interested in doing a joy-school. I immediately said yes! But then I walked away scratching me head, because I did not even know where to begin with ideas (or really what a joy school even was.) Just when I had that thought, I was smacked in the back of the head with a "duh" moment: Pinterest! And boy are there some awesome ideas!!!! So here we go:



The site above is definitely one of my favorites. Because not only has she given me some ideas for joy-school, but also for church, in helping my little guys to be a bit more reverent.

This is an awesome site, as you can type any words or phrase, and it will create printing sheets.














And this brilliant gal has a million ideas for hand and foot painting.
 They are so cute and will be so fun!!!



This site gives a DIY that will save your pre-school/home-school budget. From finger-paints, to homemade bubbles, to side-walk chalk (and many many more!) This will save you loads!

And to round out the bucket-full of ideas that these sites will bring, (because seriously there are sooo many ideas!!!) here is one last one. These ideas are probably for a bit older of a preschooler (maybe about to begin kindergarten) but are still super fun.
