First day of Littles Preschool

Elle had her first day of Preschool today and SHE LOVES IT! To accommodate the insane prices of preschool a few of us created a preschool co-op where we rotate houses to teach the preschool. There are 5 children and they are all within 4 months of each other, which is really nice.
By the front door (the obligatory first day of school picture)
 The backpack was a little too heavy for Elle.
In the backpack, which also rotates homes, contains all of the preschool supplies.
 **Marne (another mom in the group) made our FANTASTIC tri-board that will rotate homes and I made the seat mats, which will also rotate homes (in order to keep our preschool uniformed). This is used for 'circle time' where the lesson, etc is taught for the day! I will tell you more about it as things move along and we figure out what is working and what isn't. So far I think it is WONDERFUL! And I couldn't be happier.

So fun! Those mats and board look amazing. Thats nice to have other moms to do that with that have kids the same age. What did you make the seat mats out of? They are super cute!
