4 Year Old Ariel Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s The Little Mermaid  is such an exciting movie that Storm loves. We love playing in the dvd player in the car every July to prepare her for her Ariel photoshoot!

Princess Ariel loves her Daddy, but she has a very strong urge to explore unknown worlds. She just can’t stay still, and loves to learn about the forbidding human world.

Storm also loves adventure as well, she likes to lead the way and lead her friends in their play. We are trying to teach her to lead in a way that the other kids will still have fun with her.

We went to play at a local beach for the day. We brought some seashells and a fork to play with in the sand. She also brought her Flounder Plush. She wore an Ariel dress that was given to her last year. We just combed her hair straight after her bath and parted it on the side, then added a few light curls. She wore the pearl earrings with the safety backs.

Storm has dressed as Ariel on July 17 every year of her short life!

Preschool Moana Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 3 years old and loves to dress up as a princess. This month we chose Moana from Disney’s Moana because I think of the ocean. Also, her dress is coral and a sandy color which reminds me of going to the beach in June.

Princess Moana is an adventurous, strong, confident, daring, and proud 16 year old girl from a South Pacific Island. Her sidekick is Heihei a rooster.

Moana quote: “Sometimes our strengths lie beneath the surface. Far beneath in some cases.”

Joshua 1:9 states, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

She wore her Moana Dress with the “Moana” hair bow from this Disney Princess Bow Pack. She hugged her stuffed Hei Hei and Pua. We also brought her Moana Toy Oar and some seashells to play with. We went to a nearby lake with a beach to take the photos this year.

4 Year Old Moana Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s Moana is such a fun and exciting movie that Storm loves. We love playing in the dvd player in the car every June to prepare her for her Moana photoshoot!

Princess Moana loves her family and her people, but she needs to do against the rules to fine the best future for her village. She is so brave facing the ocean, demi gods, and other unknowns to make a better future for her people.

Storm enjoys this movie, it was her first favorite Disney movies. She likes the music, Maui, and the animals. She is also a very brave girl, not afraid to talk with anyone no matter their looks. She is not afraid of “Stranger Danger” at all, which is a bit alarming; but we are teaching her to remain friendly, but stay cautions.

She wore her Moana Dress a hugged her stuffed Hei Hei and Pua. We also brought her Moana Toy Oar and some seashells to play with. We went to a nearby lake with a beach to take the photos this year. We braided her wet hair the night before and when we took out the braids she had pretty tight curls. Her earrings are the pink sea turtle earrings.

Preschool Mulan Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 3 years old and loves to dress up as a princess. This month we chose Moana from Disney’s Mulan  because I think of Chinese and Japanese pink flower trees blooming in May. Also, her dress is yellow and green which makes me think of May flowers.

Princess Mulan is a courageous, independent, resourceful, thoughtful, and a tomboy 16 year old girl from an Imperial Chinese Dynasty. Her sidekick is Mushu a Chinese Dragon.

Mulan quote: “My name is Mulan! I did it to save my father.”

2 Peter 3:18 states, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”

We went to a local park today to take her Mulan pictures. She held some pink flowers and a red fan. She wore a red Chinese Cheongsam, sparkly black leggings, her black dress shoes, and the “Moana” hair bow from this Disney Princess Bow Pack.

4 Year Old Mulan Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s Mulan is such a great movie for teaching independence. We love playing Mulan in the dvd player in the car every May to prepare her for her Mulan photoshoot!

Princess Mulan wants nothing more than to bring honor to her family while protecting them. She has to disobey her family in order to protect them, but in the end she brings honor to them and to her country.

Storm also wants to please her family. She is constantly asking us if she is a good girl, or if we love her. She is constantly telling me that I am doing a good job. I believe that her love language is words of affirmation like her fathers!

Storm wore her Mulan Dress for Girls. We just combed her hair straight after her bath and then parted it slightly. Her shoes are the white strap sandals  and her gold earrings. We went to a local park today to take her Mulan pictures. She held some pink flowers and a green fan that came with her dress.

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Preschool Tiana Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 3 years old and loves to dress up as a princess. This month we chose Tiana from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog because I think of ponds and frogs in spring. Also, her dress is green and in April everything is finally green again!

Princess Tiana is an inspiring, ambitious, determined, resilient, and hardworking 19 year old girl from New Orleans. Her sidekick is Ray a Cajun firefly.

Tiana quote: “It serves me right for wishing on stars. The ONLY way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.” 

James 1:17 states, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

We went to a local park that had a pond and small gazebo for this photoshoot. She wore her Walmart Tiana Sweater Dress with the Watermelon Birthday Party tutu and a and her white dress shoes with the “Tiana” hair bow from this Disney Princess Bow Pack.

3 Year Old Flowers Photos

Éowyn is 3 years old now, and is growing and learning so much each and every day. She loves spending time with her family, playing with her baby dolls, eating sweets, and water play.

Éowyn is very excited for her birthday party… this is the first year that she understands that the day is all about her. She talks about opening her birthday gifts and being 3!

She wore a brightly colored dress with flowers on it, and we took advantage of the Easter flower display at church to take her pictures.

4 Year Old Tiana Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s The Princess and the Frog is not one of my favorites, because I do not like the shadow man, but I do love Tiana’s character. We play The Princess and the Frog in the dvd player in the car every April to prepare her for her Tiana photoshoot!

Princess Tiana is a hardworking beauty who believes that she can do anything with hard work and dedication. Her father tells her at the beginning of the movie that family is what really matters, and by the end of the movie, she remembers this lesson.

My Little Storm also loves her family and is always hugging each of us. She will also tell us each one at a time right after one another that she loves us… “Mommy, I love you”, “Daddy, I love you”, “Brother, I love you”, etc…

We went to a local park that had a pond and small gazebo for this photoshoot. She wore her new Tiana dress and I put her hair up with a bun shaper and curled some on the sides of her face. She wore her green  earrings are from a multi color pack that I bought when she was a baby. She wore her white strap sandals too.

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Preschool Mixing Colors

This month my 4 year was learning how to mix colors. We used books and Colors Worksheets Preschool (Learn to spell 11 Colors) Color Mixing Activities from Teachers Pay Teachers. First I taught her the primary colors; red, yellow, and blue. Then we read the books over and over and she learned how to mix red and yellow to make orange, yellow and blue to make green, and blue and red to make purple.

Monsters Love Colors

We read Monsters Love Colors by Mike Austin and decided to make some marble painting monsters.

First we drew a monster outline on a large piece of paper and placed the paper inside a cookie tray. Then we dropped some red and blue paint on the paper and added a few marbles to the cookie tray. She moved the tray back and forth to have the marbles move through the paint and mix the colors. We did another monster with red and yellow paint drops and a third one with blue and yellow paint.

Finally she wanted to do one with all three primary colors of paint.

After the paint dried we cut out black paper to look like mouths and eye brows. We also added googly eyes to the monster.

She loved this book and asked to read it every night for a while.

The Dot

We read The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and she make several paintings with all sizes and colors of dots on her easel. She even experimented with mixing paint colors to make new colors of dots.

Painting on her easel is one of her favorite activities.

Mix It Up! and Press Here

For today we read Mix It Up! and Press Here by Herve Tullet. She really enjoyed the actions in these books. We used our Primary Science Lab to mix colored water. I placed a few drops of red, yellow, and blue food coloring in the beakers.

She used an eye dropper to mix the primary colors to make the secondary colors.

Red and yellow to make orange, blue and yellow to make green, and last red and blue to make purple.

Once she had all the colors, she experimented with the colored water to make new colors. Most of them ended up as a brown color.

She really enjoys playing with this Primary Science Lab. Just be sure to place it on a cookie tray on top of a towel if you have very young children.

Mouse Paint & White Rabbit’s Color Book

We read Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh and White Rabbit’s Color Book by Alan Baker.

I printed the color mixing page from Colors Worksheets Preschool (Learn to spell 11 Colors) Color Mixing Activities from Teachers Pay Teachers onto cardstock. She only had the primary colors of paint and she had to mix those to make the primary colors.

Color Dance

Today we read Color Dance by Ann Jonas and then tried to mix white with each color and black with each color.

We made 3 circles of each color and then added white paint to each color on the column on the left and added black paint to each color on the column on the right.

Mixing Colored Ice Cubes

I froze red, blue, and yellow water. Then she placed the ice cubes in the jars to mix the colors.

  • red ice cubes in the first jar
  • red and yellow in the second jar
  • yellow in the third jar
  • yellow and blue in the fourth jar
  • blue in the fith
  • and blue with red in the last jar.

Painting with Primary Colored Ice Cubes

I also let her paint with the ice tubes. She could make a rainbow by mixing the primary colors.
