Castles Dragons Kings and Queens Theme Art
In the Forest
Provide large pieces of newsprint. Encourage the children to work together to paint a forest mural.
Talk about and show pictures of what the forest looks like.
Paint trees, flowers, forest critters, paths.
When dry, hang outside your classroom. This is the forest before you enter the Castle: your classroom!
Or, hang on the walls in your dramatic play area!
Crowns
Materials Needed: cardboard crown stencils, large construction paper in a variety of colors, glue, miscellaneous arts and crafts, marker, scissors
The children trace their choice of crown design stencil onto large construction paper and cut it out.
The children add their own decor to their crown.
When dry, fit onto the child's head and staple. (I usually tape the staples to cover them. They sometimes will catch in the children's hair).
Note: If you are using heavy craft materials (jewels or the like), you may want to use heavier paper than construction paper so it does not rip, such as tagboard.
Princess Hats
Roll construction paper into a cone shape and secure after the children have painted and decorated.
Attach ribbons, streamers or transparent and glittery fabric from the top.
Knight Helmets
Needed: 1 plastic milk or water gallon jug for each child; craft glue; miscellaneous craft supplies
Cut the tops off and cut them to only cover the top, back and sides of the head.
The children decorate by gluing their choice of items on.
Magic Wands
Materials needed: long paint sticks (the ones you mix gallons of paint with. Most stores will donate them to you); markers; stencils of star shapes; cardboard; hot glue gun
The children decorate their stick with markers.
They trace a star (or other shape) onto cardboard and cut out (you may need to pre-cut--cardboard is difficult to cut for preschoolers).
The children paint and glitter the star.
Hot glue or tape the star on the end of their magic wand!
VARIATION: One teacher simply had children decorate (with crayons) a colored piece of construction paper.
When done, she rolled the paper up tightly and used clear tape to cover it for basic magic wands.
Castle Flags or Banners
Materials needed: poster board cut into smaller rectangles; paint, glitter, glue
Show the children different pictures of flag books.
The children design their own flags to display around the classroom 'castle'!
Preschool Castle Flags

Castle Dragons Kings and Queens Theme Block Center Ideas
Castle Building
Of course! Now, get creative here. Do you have blocks put away that you only bring out once in a while?

Plastic Waffle Blocks
Colored Cardboard Blocks
Unit Blocks
Cereal boxes: Yes! In advance ask parents to save cereal boxes! They make AMAZING building blocks!!!
Colored Wooden Blocks (you know, the ones you usually have for the math center).

Provide small lunch bags for the children to open and then crumple up to represent rocks.
Provide blue paper to make a mote.
Add alligators, dragons and a play castle with knights and horses.
EXTENSION: If you decide to use cereal boxes..make it an ongoing castle building event.
As the children build, glue or tape the boxes together and you'll have a castle by the end of one week!

They also appear in courtrooms, since the monarch is deemed to be the fount of judicial authority in the United Kingdom and law courts comprise part of the ancient royal court (thus so named). Judges are officially Crown representatives, demonstrated by the display of the Royal Arms behind the judge's bench in almost all UK courts; notable exceptions include the, which displays its own to symbolize its nationwide role, the in the, where behind the stands a sword upright flanked by the arms of the City and the Crown. In addition, the Royal Arms cannot be displayed in courtrooms or on court-house exteriors in, except for the courtrooms of the and the courts in Armagh, Banbridge, Downpatrick, Magherafelt, or Omagh, and the exterior of court buildings that had them in place prior to the 2002 law.As the United Kingdom is governed in the monarch's name, the British Government also uses the Royal Arms as a national symbol of the United Kingdom, and, in that capacity, the coat of arms can be seen on several government documents and forms, passports, in the entrance to embassies and consulates, etc.

The series was replaced in 2016 by the Nations of the Crown bi-metallic coin.The monarch grants to select businesses and tradespeople which supply the Royal Household with goods or services. This entitles those businesses to display the Royal Arms on their packaging and stationery by way of advertising.It is customary (but not mandatory) for churches throughout the United Kingdom whether in the or the to display the Royal Arms to show loyalty to the Crown. If a church building of either denomination does not have a Royal Arms, permission from the Crown must be given before one can be used.A banner of the Royal Arms, known as the, is flown from the royal palaces when the monarch is in residence, and being her principal abodes; and from public buildings only when the monarch is present. This protocol equally applies to the monarch's principal residences in Scotland (the and ), where the Royal Standard (Scottish version) is flown.
