Comment by Dawn Malosh on September 21, 2010 at 4:42am: aesome ideas, Jennifer! One of my favorite activities is your land art one. I love taking the kids on a nature hunt and then arranging the objects according to different design aesthetics like line, shape, texture, color, etc. This is a great organizing activity for preschool level. Thanks for sharing!
