in Pennsylvania. They started telling their neighbors the story of a special
bunny that came each spring to lay beautiful colored eggs. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Children began building nests to collect the eggs. They also
set out carrots in case the Easter Bunny got tired hopping from nest to nest. <o:p></o:p></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Eventually, the eggs turned to chocolate, the nests became
baskets, and people started giving gifts to each other.</p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">How did Bunnies and Eggs Get Associated with Easter?</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">Spring is when flowers burst forth with color and chase away
the brown, barren landscape of winter. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Animals like deer, raccoons, skunks, otter, birds, and yes –
bunnies – have babies in the spring. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eggs are a symbol of new life. Colored eggs point to the festive colors of
spring. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Spring is a new start, a new beginning. Why not celebrate
that? <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">A Question to Ponder</span></h1><h1><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">What if everything you did wrong was forgiven and forgotten?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How would you feel?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What would you do? <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">How would you live?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Forgiveness is a relief when someone grants it. It’s like
having your slate wiped clean and your bad behavior removed from your permanent
record. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ask your students these questions. Maybe they have someone
they can forgive. Or maybe they can apologize to someone they’ve offended.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It might be a new beginning for one (or more) of their
relationships! What better way to remember Easter?<o:p></o:p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Give Someone a Basket</span></h1><h1><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">Who doesn’t love a gift?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Help your students show someone they care with an Easter
basket filled with gifts. It can be as simple as filling a few eggs with candy.
Maybe they can make a card to put inside. Whatever they do, it will be
beautiful – and appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bonus points if you give baskets to people who might not get
one otherwise. <o:p></o:p></p>

It has no conflict, no battles to fight, and no princess to rescue. There is nothing in this story that will give a child bad dreams.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div></span></h3></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #073763;">What makes this book unique? </span></h3><p>20 years before Goodnight Moon, children’s books were set in fantasy worlds. When Brown was a student at the Bank Street School, she began authoring stories for the “here and now.” Children naturally invest their worlds with meaning. Goodnight Moon guides children through a house like theirs and offers a ritual they can follow, no matter what their world looks like.</p><p>Brown was a successful writer long before Goodnight Moon. She was the children’s book editor at an important New York City publishing house. While there, she had a huge influence over children's literature, writing dozens of books—some under pen names so she did not overwhelm the market. This established here and now storytelling as a popular children's book genre.</p><p>Goodnight Moon’s rhythmic language came from Brown’s study of children’s semantics. She found children are more interested in how a message sounds than what it says. Over 70 years later, parents still lull their children to sleep with the gentle rhythms of Goodnight Moon.</p><p></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjb6vvg8KGYiO3eS604fq4m8pkHN_hFywKNkVVxW0sbX6WZ7bCNY1HdL_Zyw74pnexW2vYTEMbdVEBXCxAm8hAhqMRTXI3ALr3xU71SvDNnu6izR0D9gKBj9RAHo1zfiX1DVKg0LiNkEJVOUjytCLfSWoRTTfRZOY2SSmDD3T1lOGx658X7SRZlkgGj" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="541" data-original-width="821" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjb6vvg8KGYiO3eS604fq4m8pkHN_hFywKNkVVxW0sbX6WZ7bCNY1HdL_Zyw74pnexW2vYTEMbdVEBXCxAm8hAhqMRTXI3ALr3xU71SvDNnu6izR0D9gKBj9RAHo1zfiX1DVKg0LiNkEJVOUjytCLfSWoRTTfRZOY2SSmDD3T1lOGx658X7SRZlkgGj=w495-h326" width="495" /></a></b></div><b><br /></b><p></p><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">Fun Goodnight Moon Activities for Preschoolers</span></b></h3><div><b><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></b></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">A Few of My Favorite Toys</span></b></h4><p>The bunny said goodnight to a roomful of things.

<p class="MsoNormal">What was the funniest thing you ever saw or heard? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chances are you laughed so hard you couldn’t do anything
else. It’s the kind of laugh that paralyzes you, and all you can do is
surrender to the moment. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No doubt life is stressful at times. It can be hard to laugh
when you feel the weight of the world on your chest. But what if you could
laugh on purpose? What if all your tension could disappear so you feel lighter
than a feather—even for a moment?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Back in 2006, Elaine Helle noticed that people weren’t
laughing enough. Being a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher, she knew the
benefits. So, on January 24 at 1:24 PM, she called people to take a moment and laugh
as hard as they could. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since then, it has become a global celebration!<o:p></o:p></p>

listen to your favorite comedian instead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">All you need is some glue, scissors, food clip art you can
print out, and paper plates. Have the children cut out their favorite foods and
glue them on the plates. (Thanks to <a href="https://www.prekinders.com/thanksgiving-theme/">PreKinders</a> for this
idea.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #073763;">Thankful Cards</span></h3><h2 style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">One piece of construction paper should do. Have them write
what they’re thankful for. Encourage them to add a picture they draw or paste
on. Studies show that grateful people are happier, get better grades, and don’t
get sick as often as ungrateful people. <o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #073763;">Thanksgiving Countdown</span></h3><h1 style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Make a paper chain with enough links to count down the days
until Thanksgiving. Each day a student tears off one link and everyone counts
what’s left. (Thanks to <a href="https://www.preschool-plan-it.com/preschool-thanksgiving-activities.html">Preschool

<p class="MsoNormal">Want to know how you can change the world?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Famous actor Morgan Freeman says you do it
with “one random act of kindness at a time.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hear a lot of people talk about “random” acts of
kindness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What does that mean?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Oxford Dictionary says anything random is
“done without method or conscious decision.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perhaps a better word to describe these acts of kindness is
“unexpected.” To recipients these acts seem random.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But for those practicing kindness, their acts
are planned and intentional. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want something to happen, you must be conscious about
it and make plans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s why
celebrating World Kindness Day is a great way to build the kindness habit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<h1><span style="color: #073763;">How Did World Kindness Day Get Started?</span><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">On November 13, 1997, a group of humanitarians came together
and decided it was time for a change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They marked their decision with a “Declaration of Kindness.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their purpose became “<span class="hgkelc">spreading
joy, happiness, and peace by being considerate, compassionate and empathetic
towards people and living beings.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">If you wrote your own Declaration of
Kindness, what would you put in it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How
would you spread joy, happiness, and peace to the people around you?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">Your students have lots of ideas on how
to be kind to each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make a list
and write your own class declaration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Print it out and hang it on the wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Take one act each week and focus on practicing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Praise students when you catch them being
kind. Have them share their stories of what happened when they were kind to
someone else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Talk about how every act
of kindness is an investment in a better future for everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">We’d love to see your declaration and
hear your stories!</span></p>
<h1><span style="color: #073763;">Play the Compliment Game</span><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">A compliment is defined by Oxford as “a polite expression of
praise or admiration.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abraham Lincoln
said everyone likes compliments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Comedy
writer Robert Orben said compliments are “verbal sunshine.” Mark Twain said he
could “live for two months on a good compliment.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A single compliment can affect the rest of someone’s life.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since compliments are so powerful, children should learn to master
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can play the compliment game in a variety of ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are a few ground rules:<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->The compliment should be sincere. </p></blockquote><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One way to play is to pass a ball.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When someone catches the ball, they must
compliment someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they’re done,
they pass the ball to someone else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Play
continues until all students are complimented. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can also hand out blank cards and assign each student
another person to compliment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Write some
sample sentences on the board that they can copy if they wish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the cards are filled out, have the
writers deliver them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are some <a href="https://purefunsupply.com/shop/?search_query=foam%20balls#/filter:categories_hierarchy:Champion$2520Sports">balls
for your Compliment Game</a> from Champion Sports.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These <a href="https://purefunsupply.com/moroccan-terrific-index-cards-blank-3-in-x-5-in/">framed
index cards</a> provide the perfect place to write a short, sincere compliment.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<h1><span style="color: #073763;">Play Empathy Charades</span><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s easier to give sincere compliments when you know people
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this game, have each student come to the front of the
class and pick a card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Written on these
cards will be <i>feeling</i> words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
student then acts out the feeling nonverbally until someone guesses the emotion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The point of this is to help students understand what others
are feeling by reading their faces and behavior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you can relate, you can connect. <o:p></o:p></p>

<h1><span style="color: #073763;">Donate Toys to Kids Who Need Them</span><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many kids have more toys than they can play with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your students have some they’ve outgrown
or don’t play with anymore, another child can give that toy a new life. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Set up a box in your classroom to collect gently used
toys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If possible, take a field trip so your
students can see the kids’ faces as they receive the toys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">National Popcorn Poppin’ Month was started in 1999 by
Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why
October?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because this is when popcorn is
harvested in the Midwest, where most of America’s popcorn is grown. <o:p></o:p></p>
<h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #073763;">How did popcorn get into movie theaters? </span></h1><h2><o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before the Depression, young entrepreneurs started selling
popcorn and cracker jacks as they walked up and down theater aisles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Theater owners were hesitant to buy the
equipment needed to serve popcorn, so they hired vendors to cook and sell it
outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 1938, Glen Dickson decided to take a chance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He bought popcorn poppers and installed them
inside all his theaters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
expensive, but he made his money back quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sales of popcorn soared!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now it’s
hard to imagine going to a theater without smelling popcorn. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Paint one hand teal blue, and press it onto a sheet of the white card stock. Lift up the hand quickly instead of sliding it to prevent the hand print from smearing. Repeat this step twice for two total hand prints per child. Allow paint to dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Paint two toilet paper tubes with bright red paint. For bolder, brighter color, do two coats of paint on each tube. Allow paint to dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Cut the hand prints out, leaving a little white space around the edges. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Cut two small slits, one on each side of the tubes, and slide your hand prints down into the tubes. Keep the hand print in place by adding glue. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Draw your own or download <a href="https://merakimother.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/cat-in-the-hat-arts-and-crafts.pdf">these printable faces and labels</a>. Glue the faces and logos into place as shown. Let the glue dry.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use these warm and inviting luminaries to decorate your classroom or let your students take them home as gifts! This craft will help younger children work on their fine motor skills, while older children will have fun using creativity to make their luminaries more elaborate.</div>

<b>What You Need:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mason Jars</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mod Podge</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.purefunsupply.com/_a/253.htm?Search=paint+brush">Paintbrush</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Candles (tea candles are the perfect size!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wet Wipes (or wet paper towels) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.Tear your colored tissue paper into small strips. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.Cut a tree shape out of brown construction paper. (You can make your tree as simple as the photo above or add more branches, etc.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.Using your paintbrush, coat the outside of your mason jar with mod podge. Then quickly adhere the tissue paper and the tree to the mod podge before it dries. You might want to do this part in sections since mod podge dries pretty quickly. You may want to keep wet wipes or a wet paper towel handy since the mod podge will also make your hands pretty sticky!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4.After you have attached all of your tissue paper, put a final coat of mod podge over everything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Stick your candle inside the jar, light it, and turn off the lights for a fantastic fall display. You may want to use battery operated candles with young children, or you can simply forgo the candles and display your colorful mason jars without. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tactile activities are great for young children, and this one smells just like pumpkin pie! Using play sand and a few ingredients from your kitchen, you can make this engaging sensory tool for hours of play!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What You Need:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.purefunsupply.com/_a/253.htm?Search=play+sand">Play Sand</a> (4 Cups)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Corn Starch (2 Cups)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Water (1-3 Cups)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pumpkin Pie Spice (1 Tsp)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Orange Food Coloring or Powdered Paint (optional)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.Mix play sand, pumpkin pie spice, and corn starch together in a large container.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.Add desired amount of coloring or paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.Slowly mix in water until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. More water = slimier consistency. Less water = play dough consistency. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4.Use scoopers, buckets, or hands only to play in the sand. When finished, leave your moon sand in an uncovered container to dry. (Do not seal it until it is completely dry, or there will be mold!) Once it is dry, you can seal it in a closed container or plastic bags. Just add water the next time you want to play! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next, prepare your bear's face:</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cut two small circles out of one paper plate and staple them
to the top of another paper plate to be the bear's ears. The staples will

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now, time to paint him up! Make the paint nice
and thick. Glob it on. It may take some time to dry, so have your
students begin to make the other parts of the bear.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cut out 2 pink circles to go in his ears, 2 black circles

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Use a glue stick to attach them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Finally draw a mouth for your Berry Brown Bear. </span></div>

1.Pour out a little bit of each paint color onto your plates. Combining several paint colors on each plate will create a dazzling mosaic for your prints. Make your prints sparkle by adding glitter glue at this step.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.Dip your leaves into the desired paint/glitter colors.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.Press your leaves onto the white paper. Use your fingers to press firmly along the lines of the leaf to make the leaf structure stand out more. If you want to create a huge collage for your class, you might consider doing everyone's prints on the same long roll of paper. On a smaller scale, you can also do individualized collages on regular 8 1/2" x 11" paper.</div>

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.Color your coffee filters with fall colors--typically red, yellow, and orange. Scribbles will do. This doesn't have to be neat since the colors will run together anyway.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.Lay your colored filters on a flat surface or, preferably, a drying rack (like one you might use for cookies), and mist them with the spray bottle. Don't soak them. They should be lightly damp in order for the colors to spread over the filter but not run off of the filter.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.Cut slits in the top of your cardboard tubes, and gently bend the slits to make tree branches.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
4.Once the filters are dry, simply stuff them into the top of the tube. Now your beautiful fall tree is done!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.purefunsupply.com/_a/253.htm?Search=card+stock">Orange and Green Card Stock</a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Scissors (child-safe with rounded edges for young children)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ruler</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dark Orange Fine Tip Marker</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Black Medium Tip Marker </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Two Split Pins</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.Divide
your orange card evenly into 8 sections using the orange marker,
marking the sections off with neat hash marks. A ruler will be handy for
this step to keep the lines straight and the spaces even. The orange
marker will blend into the paper so that it won't show very much once
the pumpkin is formed.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.Cut out 8 strips of orange card along your hash marks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.Punch a hole in one end of each strip large enough for the split pin to go through. (This step may be done by the teacher/parent for young children.)<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4.Thread your pieces of card onto the split pin and lock the pin in place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5.Repeat
steps 3 and 4 with a second split pin on the opposite end of your
strips to create the 3D pumpkin. You will want to cut a small strip of
green card and attach it to the second split pin to form the stalk. Make
sure you thread the green strip onto the pin first so that it will be
on the outside of your pumpkin.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6.Decorate
the outside of your pumpkin with a black marker to create the face.
Voila! Your pumpkin friend is done! Just don't use him to trick or
treat, or your candy might disappear! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What are <a href="https://www.purefunsupply.com/USDA-Smart-Snacks-for-School-s/853.htm">Smart Snacks</a>?</b></span></div>
<br />
Smart Snacks came to fruition through the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. This Act sought to provide students with more nutritious snack options during the school day to supplement their regular school meals, which were already under federal nutrition standards. In the 2014-2015 school year, the USDA began requiring schools to meet these new nutritional standards for "competitive foods," or snacks outside of the federal reimbursable meal program (i.e. breakfast and lunch), that are sold during the school day, whether through vending machines, snack bars, school stores, a la carte, or any other place on the school grounds. Limitations apply to all grade levels but vary by age group (i.e.
elementary, middle, and high school). For example, caffeinated beverages
may be sold to high school students but not to elementary and middle
school students.<br />
<br />
Smart Snacks contribute to students' overall health in several ways:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>They help students form better eating habits earlier in life. Less junk food, more brain food!</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>They fight childhood obesity, high blood pressure, and other health issues. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>They offer more well-rounded nutrition at school to students who may not have access to healthy foods at home and reinforce healthy eating habits for students who routinely eat healthy foods at home.</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
According to Smart Snack guidelines, the "school day" refers to the period from the midnight
before to 30 minutes after the official school day ends. Student
activities occurring on school grounds but after the end of the
USDA-defined school day are not subject to the Smart Snack restrictions.
For example, the concession stand at an evening football game would not
be subject to these guidelines. <br />

<br />
As the hustle and bustle of a new school year begins, don't forget to recharge your brain and rejuvenate your body with some extra rest during the day! Finding time to rest and recuperate can be challenging, but even a 20-30 minute nap can make a world of difference for you and your students!<br />
<br />
Why are naps so important for children (besides giving parents and teachers a break)? Recent scientific studies show that naps improve cognitive development and memory, helping kids remember what they've learned during the day. When children's highly active brains get the chance to rest, they have longer attention spans, overcome challenges more easily, are less irritable during the day, and more readily go to sleep at night.<br />
<br />
To ensure a better nap time for your children this year, PureFUN! has a variety of rest mats, cots, and accessories from Children's Factory & Angeles Brand to fit the needs of your childcare center!<br />
