Harvest Time Week Four
Primary Book: The Little Red Hen
Activities: Quilt Square
Yello Cake
Poem: Little Boy Blue
Flower Fairies: Review Week
We were coloring on brown bags, just for something different.
We made yellow cake to go along with The Little Red Hen. This got rather messy. The kids were a little rambunctious and at times couldn't agree on who stood where on the learning tower. I'll have to come up with a different approach for our next baking experience. We also made some delicious chocolate, butter cream frosting to go with it. It happens to be my birthday today, so the timing was great!
They were playing with a new molding clay here. The clay has a neat texture, it's fun to just squish it in your hands. Tavin was ripping the yellow clay into little pieces. He said he was making baby ducklings.
Fun at the easel. Tavin took a moment to give me a smile.
Imagnets. These are really neat. You make the pictures on the cards with the different shaped magnets. I love that they came in their own carrying case.
The mini sandbox. This is a fun thing to bring out every now and then. It entertains Tavin for quite a while.
Here they are coloring on fabric squares with fabric markers. We are going to make a Harvest Time Quilt at the end of the semester. The curriculum calls for a different technique with paint, but I thought markers would be better for the kids. Quilt making is out of my comfort zone as it is. Grandma Sandy will step in and help us out, thank goodness.
This week we also went to Kindermusik, cousin Cecilia's volley ball game, the Gillen's for dinner and play, a puppet show at the library and Grandpa and Grandma Erickson's for play. Grandpa and Grandma have a pretty cool back yard with two large pine trees. The pine trees are natural, ready made tree houses. Perfect for littles. The puppet show was cute. It was fun to watch the kids' expressions as they watched the puppets. We went on a nature walk and saw three deer! A mother and her two children. The mother seemed to appreciate that we were both out for a walk with our children.
We went to Party Land today to get Curious George birthday party supplies for their combined birthday party tomorrow. The cake is decorated with Curious George riding a train! Absolutely perfect.
