These shapes are called 2-dimensional because they only have two dimensions - length and width. This means they are flat, like a drawing on a piece of paper, instead of being three-dimensional like a ball or cube. You can use different colors and techniques with the watercolors to create beautiful and colorful designs with these 2-dimensional shapes. #chiminikespreschoollearningcenter #chiminikes2Dshapes #chiminikeslearningcenter #art #earlychildhoodeducation #stocktontrue #becausekids #kindergardenteacher #frogstreetcurriculum #frogstreetsplash @frogstreetearlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #socialemotionalskills

Being a mom is a true act of constantly doing, trying, and being. You honestly never stop momming. You three are loved from when you wake up to when you fall asleep (which is now a much later bedtime than mine). You are loved through every hard decision and life lesson. You are loved through every smile, every song and every epic dance move in our kitchen. You are loved through every nerf gun & Mario kart challenge, and even through every eye roll when asked to help with chores 🙄. You are loved through every adventure, every sing-song of my threats, and every variation of a recipe I can come up with so we have fun learning to cook. You are loved through balancing schedules and two households. You are loved through ALL.OF.IT. And best part, everything I am as a mom, you helped me to be. Thank you to Mason, Rhys & Sadie- grateful to do this life with you xo #mothersday #mama #blessed #boymom #minihomegirl #mypartyoffive #blended #stepmom #mylife #becausekids #tiredasamother #aintnohoodlikemotherhood
