Scarecrows, Corn and More

 

Hello and Welcome

It's the week after Halloween and our Fall has been unusually warm this past week with temperatures breaking long standing records.  It made it so nice to be outside with the kids enjoying the sunshine before it all passes and the cold winter sets in.

We are still celebrating the Fall theme with some fun activities.

Here's what we did this week.

Scarecrow

We used a paper plate to create our fun scarecrow.  We added the song we learned on the back.

Crows

Simple cone shaped crows of course for the scarecrow to frighten away.

Corn

We talked about why the farmers has scarecrows in their fields and made this fun corn.

Using an ink pad (you could use a shallow dish of paint) we pressed the large Lego block onto the pad and stamped  onto our corn.

Squirrel

I covered a paper towel roll with brown paper and folded down the top to create the squirrel's ears.

The kids decorated them using some dark brown paper.  

We learned this song:

Brown Squirrel, brown Squirrel,

Swish your bushy tail.

Brown Squirrel, brown squirrel,

Swish your bushy tail.

Hold a peanut in your paws, wrinkle up your little nose.

Brown squirrel, brown squirrel,

Swish your bushy tail.

Scarecrow Puzzle

My kids love puzzles, so I printed this one out, glued it onto some heavy cardboard for stability,

then the kids coloured it and we cut it into a puzzle.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
