I’m feeling all of the autumn vibes! Mornings are cooler, days are shorter, and I want to be cozy all the time.

I’ve got you covered. This printable set of classroom decorations is subtle and oh so…

Preschool Theme – Bees
Children have very strong opinions about bees – usually related to the fear of being stung. That’s understandable, most adults spend a fair amount of time warning children to stay away from bees so that they don’t get stung. There is so much more to bees than their defense mechanism though.

Some of the supplies that I use are the exact same ones I grew up with (I’m looking at you Paas Egg Dye), and some are definitely newer. All of these are helpful in managing the mess and adding to the fun! All links are affiliates.
