J is for Jesus
Typically, letter C is associated with the Christmas Season. This school year Letter J was the perfect letter to celebrate Christmas in preschool:)

The Preschoolers traced and cut out the letter J.
The students used rulers and sharpies to create candy cane strips on pieces of red felt. Ms. Kristen and I cut the strips apart, as the material was difficult to cut through.
The students used tacky glue to add the strips to the letter J's, to resemble candy canes.
They made Baby Jesus by cutting a blue oval and painting a peachy/tan circle to resemble Jesus's sweet face. They glued down hay, then glued Jesus in the manger.
We found the original J is for Jesus Craft

Christmas Tree Place mats
We dipped toilet paper rolls in green paint to design Christmas trees. (I rarely dispose toilet paper and paper towel rolls, as they are useful tools in making learning FUN!!)
We dipped a square Lego in brown paint to create tree trunks.
The next day, we made puffy paint that we used to decorate the trees with fingerprint ornaments.
Recipe:
Mix equal parts of washable tempera paint, liquid glue and shaving cream.
