Christi at Frugal Novice made the cutest Candy Corn Wreath with her two little boys.  She found this project  from Women’s Day.  This is an excellent craft project for a family or for a class. If this is done with a class, two or three students could come up at a time and glue on their candy corn. Be sure and have extra candy corn for nibbling!

(By the way, Christi just happens to be our daughter, and the two little boys just happen to be our adorable grandsons!)

This is one of my favorites and a favorite of nearly everyone who has used it according to the Hap Palmer website.  I used Learning Basic Skills Through Music in my Early Childhood class, and I enjoyed it as much as the children.  These learning songs are great action songs as well that help get out the wiggles out of restless students.   Here is a list of the songs:

• 1. Colors

• 2. Put Your Hands Up In The Air

• 3. The Elephant

• 4. The Number March

• 5. Marching Around The Alphabet

• 6. Growing

• 7. This Is The Way We Get Up In The Morning

• 8. Birds

• 9. What Are You Wearing?

• 10. What Is Your Name?

By the way, Hap Palmer’s first recording of this was in 1969, but it is still as catchy and enjoyable today as it was back then.   Hap Palmer’s songs are timeless!  The songs are easy to learn and help with retention of skills in a musical way.
