Feliz día de la Madre :) Unas bonitas flores hechas con papel y nuestras manitas

0

Para celebrar este día maravilloso en el que todos recordamos la importancia de nuestra mamá, una manualidad sencilla y llena de color.

Handprint Lilies

Age 5+ can do this project pretty much solo (you may want to help them form cones from the handprints, depending on how crafty they are).  Any age from baby on up can contribute handprints for the project.

Materials:

  • construction paper  (green for leaves and a flower color)
  • straw
  • scissors
  • pencil
  • scotch tape
     
  • OPTIONAL:  pipecleaner


  • Instructions:

    • trace child's hand onto a piece of construction paper, rounding out the palm
       
    • cut out the handprint
    • roll the palm into a cone and tape.  Don't worry about the hole being too small, we can snip it open a bit if needed.
        
    • Cut pipecleaner into 1/4s. 
       
    • Fold into a V shape
       
    • Push V into end of straw and put a piece of tape around.
       
    • Curl a bit.
    • Put end of straw into flower and push through so the pipecleaner is inside the flower.
       
    • Wrap each finger around a pencil to curl.
    • Cut a long leaf shape out of green construction paper and tape onto the straw.  Curl the leaf like you did the fingers.
       
    • We put two leaves on each stem.
       
    • An odd number of flowers always seem to look nicer in a vase.

0
Ahora que vamos a trabajar el tema de los animales tanto en inglés como en español, necesitaremos recursos sencillos que motiven a los niños como esta ballena que hemos hecho hoy en clase, reciclando papeles que ya no nos servían. Aquí os dejo las instrucciones:
Supplies needed:

  • Construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Markers or crayons
  • A pipe cleaner or curling ribbon for antennae
Start by making a square piece of paper. To start making the square, fold one corner of a piece of paper over to the adjacent side.
To finish making the square, cut off the small rectangle, forming a square (which is already folded into a triangle).
Fold two opposite side over so that they meet at the fold.
Fold the tip over to just meet the other folds.
Fold the piece in half along the central axis.
Fold the tail up.
Make a short cut through the end of the fold in the tail. Fold the edges of the tail outwards.
Draw eyes, fins, and any other patterns you like, and enjoy your whale.

La suite ofimática para los más pequeños

 La idea principal de esta creación es la de proveer  este software basado en el proyecto internacional Open Office  en una versión más simplificada para niñ@s del último curso de infantil y primaria. Es gratuito y parece muy interesante. El enlace lo tenéis haciendo click AQUÍ.

Torrijas de leche: cocina de Semana Santa con l@s niñ@s

0
Aquí os explico el "paso a paso" para preparar con los niños torrijas de leche.
Ingredientes
Ingredientes:
- Una barra de pan del día anterior, cortada en rebanadas de 1,5 cm aproximadamente
- 4 huevos
- 1 litro de leche
- 1 taza de azúcar
- Un trozo de cáscara de limón y otro de naranja
- Una ramita de canela en rama
- Una cucharadita de canela en polvo
- Aceite para freír: ¾ de litro.
Modo de hacer las torrijas
Modo de hacerlas:
En un cazo se pone a calentar la leche con la mitad del azúcar, las cáscaras de naranja y limón y la ramita de canela, dándole vueltas con una cuchara para que se diluya el azúcar. Antes de que llegue a hervir, se retira y se deja en reposo durante 10 minutos para que se mezclen los sabores.
Remojar el pan en la leche
Después se sumergen las rebanadas de pan en la leche durante aproximadamente diez o doce segundos. Se sacan y se reservan en un plato. Se pone a calentar el aceite para freírlas.
Batir los huevos
Mientras se calienta el aceite, se baten los huevos en los que iremos rebozar las rebanadas y luego freírlas en el aceite.
Freir las rabanadas de pan
Cuando tengan un color tostadito por ambas caras, se retiran sobre un papel absorbente.
Pasar las torrijas por la canela y azúcar
Se ponen en un recipiente donde las podamos dejar bañándose con la leche, a la que le habremos añadido la canela en polvo y disuelto el resto del azúcar.

Un collar de galletas de colores

0
Ahora que tenemos unos días por delante, y habrá momentos en los que no sabemos qué hacer con l@s peques, ¿por qué no darles el capricho de ayudarnos en la cocina con algo tan bonito como esto?

Cocina para niños


Para preparar este collar de galletas vais a necesitar preparar nuestra receta de galletas caseras, dividiéndola luego en 6 partes iguales.
Galletas receta paso a paso
Teñir cada parte de un color diferente con gel colorante de alimentos, aquí se ha utilizado el color Rosa, Naranja, Amarillo, Verde menta, Azul eléctrico y Púrpura. Os recomendamos mezclar el colorante de alimentos con la masa de galletas en una bolsa de plástico apta para alimentos (por ejemplo una de congelación) para proteger vuestras manos de que se manchen. La masa de galletas teñidas no manchan las manos una vez que están mezcladas con el tinte.
Cubrir cada bola de masa de galletas en film transparente y refrigerar por lo menos 2 horas.
Estirar la masa de galletas a 3 mm de grosor, un color cada vez. Usar un cortador redondo de 2,5 cm aproximadamente para cortar los círculos de galletas. Colocarlos directamente sobre una bandeja de horno forrada con papel encerado. Utilizar una pajita de plástico para perforar los agujeros en el centro de las galletas. Utilizar una pajita para cada color de galleta.
Hornear 9 minutos a 180ºC girando la bandeja de horno una vez durante la cocción. Mantener una estrecha vigilancia sobre las galletas ya que queremos que se hagan pero que no se doren en exceso. Una vez hechas dejar enfriar.
Preparar el glaseado real (receta abajo). Dividir en 6 partes iguales y teñir cada parte de un color diferente con gel colorante de alimentos. Utilizamos Rojo, naranja, amarillo eléctrico, verde menta, azul eléctrico y púrpura. El glaseado real se seca muy rápidamente así que asegúrate de mantenerlo cubierto mientras trabajas.
Echar el glaseado en las bolsas de decoración, girar y asegurar con una banda elástica.
Recortar el final de las bolsas y extender el glaseado en las galletas. Utilizar un palillo de bambú para mantener los centros de galletas alineadas mientras vamos colocando las galletas en forma de sandwich. Esto es importante para que ensartar las galletas sea más fácil luego.
A continuación, mantener la galletita insertada en el pincho, mientras las decoramos con sprinkles de colores. Dejar que las galletas se sequen descubiertas durante la noche.
¡Ahora estamos listos para realizar el collar de galletas!
Collar de galletas
Se utilizaron tres colores diferentes de cordeles para cada collar. Cortar el hilo con un metro de largo aproximadamente y ensartarlo en una aguja grande. Ir insertando una galleta y un caramelo (de esos que venden en forma de pulserita) alternativamente para separar cada galleta. El collar podemos formarlo con 12 galletas aproximadamente. Para terminar el collar de galletas tan solo hay que colocarlo alrededor del cuello de la afortunada princesa que lo llevará y anudar los extremos…
Receta de glaseado real
  • 225 g de azúcar glass
  • 2-1/2 cucharadas de polvo de merengue
En el recipiente de una batidora eléctrica provista de un accesorio de pala, mezclar el azúcar, el polvo de merengue, y 1/4 taza de agua a una velocidad baja. Batir hasta que la mezcla esté esponjosa pero densa, de 7 a 8 minutos.

Una página dedicada en exclusiva al inglés en Educación Infantil

Casi por casualidad he encontrado esta página totalmente en inglés, en la que podemos encontrar, ordenados alfabéticamente por temática, un sinfín de recursos para trabajar con los niños de infantil: patrones para imprimir, canciones,... es un sitio en construcción, pero que parece estar bien encaminado. ¡Lo seguiremos de cerca!

Para estas vacaciones: ¡¡Vamos a reciclar!!Cuerdas de saltar con botes de yogurth para beber.

0

Una forma muy sencilla de motivar a l@s niñ@s para volver a un juego tradicional que cada vez veo más de nuevo en los patios del cole es que fabriquen su propia cuerda y la personalicen con sus dibujos favoritos. Sólo necesitarán un poco de ayuda para hacer el agujero donde introduciremos los extremos de la cuerda. Podemos utilizar los botes de Actimel o cualquier otro preparado que tenga más o menos ese tamaño. Podéis sujetarlo todo con cinta de embalar transparente.
